At cybersecurity gathering, the White House steps up charm offensive

In San Francisco this week, White House cybersecurity czar Michael Daniel – clad in dark suit, government pin, and a yellow tie decorated with waving flags – sat across from Amit Yoran, president of the security firm RSA, who was sporting a tight zip-up workout shirt and jeans. Mr. Daniel and Mr. Yoran came together for one of the hundreds of events that took place this week during the RSA Conference, an annual megagathering for the cybersecurity industry.
