Android security chief switches to Nest

Himanshu, 04 January 2018

Google's Nest division has got a new Director of Security and Privacy in Adrian Ludwig, who has been working as director of Android security until now. The announcement was made by Ludwig himself in a Google+ post.

Ludwig has been working with the Android security team for over 6 years now. He has been replaced by Dave Kleidermacher, who has previously been associated with BlackBerry as the Chief Security Officer, but joined Google last year.
