Yahoo Co-Founder, Jerry Yang

Yahoo co-founder Jerry Yang is leaving the struggling company. The surprise departure, announced Tuesday, comes just two weeks after Yahoo Inc. hired former PayPal executive Scott Thomson as its CEO. Yahoo co-founder Jerry Yang has resigned his board seat and “all other positions” with the beleaguered Web giant, the company announced this afternoon. Yang co-founded Yahoo in 1995 with David Filo and served as chief executive from June 2007 to January 2009. Filo remains at the company. Yang’s tenure as chief executive was tumultuous with the company reporting a 64 percent drop in net income at a time when the online advertising market was softening. That led to layoffs, including one that cut 1,000 jobs in February 2008, and another that carved away 1,430 later that same year.

I. INTRODUCTION Good morning Chairman Lungren, Ranking Member Clarke, Ranking Member Thompson, and Members of the Committee, and thank you for inviting me to testify before the Cybersecurity, Infrastructure Protection and Security Technologies Subcommittee.

I am the President and Chief Executive Officer of the American Registry for Internet Numbers, Ltd. (“ARIN”), which issues Internet Protocol (IP) number resources for the US, Canada and Caribbean, but I am speaking here today in my personal capacity based on a long history of building and securing FISMA-compliant federal Information Technology (IT) systems.

I have first-hand knowledge of these matters from my experience in the Internet industry since 1990, including serving as the Chief Technology Officer for several government contractors and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) including BBN, GTE Internetworking and XO Communications, as well as Internet standards work in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Most recently, I served for 5 years as Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer for ServerVault, providing secure managed IT services for sensitive federal government applications. My duties included direct responsibility for securing and preparing the certification of FISMA Moderate impact level federal information systems over shared Internet-based infrastructure. I have prepared my remarks today out of a desire to see the advancement of responsible Cloud-based computing for the federal government.

I would like to start by offering congratulations to the GSA for the development of its Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) program, as well as the recent Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) awards. By developing this program in cooperation with the Federal CIO council, the GSA has enabled agencies to leverage cloud-based storage, virtual machines, and web hosting services in a manner that should improve the cost and timeliness of federal IT system deployments.

II. MANAGING EMERGING RISKS FROM CLOUD COMPUTING

As a result of my experiences deploying federal IT systems over the public Internet, I was asked to present at cloud interoperability workshop in 2009, and to identify the most critical challenges that Federal CIO’s faced in making use of cloud computing under the existing FISMA security framework. Back then, the major difficulties that I identified were:

* Agency pressure for deployment of timely, cost-effective IT systems

* Administration expectations for leveraging new IT technologies

* Compliance with IT policy mandates (federal and agency-specific)

* Lack of common IT infrastructure services between systems & Potential vendor lock-in with any sizable deployment
