FedScoop: Another top Department of Homeland Security cybersecurity officials is leaving government.
DHS officials confirmed Monday that Barry West, deputy CIO and senior accountable official for risk management, will retire from the department May 31.
A veteran IT official who has held positions at multiple agencies — including as CIO of the Department of Commerce, National Weather Service, Federal Emergency Management Agency and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation — West returned to DHS in November 2016 to serve as a senior adviser for then-CIO Richard Staropoli. When Staropoli later resigned after just months on the job in August 2017 and was replaced by John Zangardi, West remained to help advise on key issues.
