Spotlight Story

This is Network World's Cisco Subnet news alert in which we focus on the top items from Cisco Subnet, your daily source for Cisco news, blogs, discussion items, security alerts, giveaways and more.

D.C. CSO busted by FBI
Cisco CCNA Yusuf Acar who is currently employed as the chief security officer for the District of Columbia has been busted by the FBI in a federal bribery sting, says Cisco Subnet blogger Brad Reese. FBI agents reportedly found $70,000 in Acar's Northwest D.C. home when they arrested him this morning. Reese writes, "Now here's what I find oddly interesting: Yusuf Acar appears not to have any security certifications or experience, according to my research. How in the heck do you think he got hired at a salary of $127,468 per year to be an Information Systems Security Officer (ISSO)?"
