Former Defense Chief Information Officer Terry Halvorsen has been hired at Samsung Electronics Co. to help expand the company's global B2B mobile business.

Every Friday the CIOs of the military services and major pentagon agencies convene with Terry Halvorsen, the Defense Department CIO, to go over the latest data from the department's cybersecurity scorecard — and it can be an uncomfortable experience.

The Defense Department is planning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 to launch a team to review some of the department’s worst performing data centers and recommend some for closure, officials said Thursday. Improving the department’s data center infrastructure is one of many goals explained in a recently-published document, which outlines a larger vision for the future of the DOD’s IT environment. DOD CIO Terry Halvorsen, and Randall Conway, deputy chief information officer for information enterprise, discussed the plan so far for the data center closure team Thursday with reporters at the Pentagon.

The Office of Personnel Management has hired Dave DeVries as its permanent CIO.
