DARPA Director Regina Dugan Leaves Defense Department For Google

Today brings some rather high-profile recruiting from Google: the director of DARPA, the Department of Defense's research arm, is leaving after three years of heading the agency to join Google at a "senior executive position." The news comes from a DARPA spokesman, who reports that Dugan felt she couldn't refuse an offer from such an "innovative company." She has worked at the agency on and off since 1996, and most recently has brought its budget and resources to bear on more practical problems like securing military networks. What role she will play at Google is unknown, but it is probably at least partially security-related.
