Rex Tillerson is planning to downgrade its cyber security office and merge it with another operation." “Christopher Painter, has been America’s top cyber security diplomat since 2011 and a been a tireless defender of American interests in cyberspace,” says Jason Healey, senior cyber researcher at Columbia University, “flying hundreds of thousands of miles a year to push our views of freedom online, conduct countless bilateral meetings with allies and friends and (champion) international engagement in multilateral settings. The U.S. government doesn'tt have many like Chris and his departure will be a major loss.”
