WSJ names cybersecurity, software reporters

Jason Dean, the global tech editor of The Wall Street Journal, sent out the following announcement:

Folks,

Two exciting personnel moves to share with you.

Bob McMillan is taking up the cybersecurity beat. As you all know, Bob has deftly covered the businesses of cloud computing and software as a service since joining the Journal just over a year ago. More recently he has also jumped into cybersecurity reporting with stories around Apple’s iPhone fight with the feds. Bob previously wrote about business technology at Wired, and before that covered cybersecurity and other issues for IDG news.

Rachael King will join the SF Tech team to take on the SaaS beat vacated by Bob’s move, covering companies including IBM and Salesforce.com. Rachael also needs no introduction, having worked side-by-side with us as a reporter for CIO Journal, where she has excelled covering similar terrain in depth and getting to know many of the customers of the big enterprise software companies. Before joining CIO Journal in 2012, she wrote about technology in the workplace for BusinessWeek.com, and before that worked as a freelancer writing about tech for Fortune magazine and other outlets.

Please join me in congratulating both on their new roles.
