Web hosting provider C I Host (cihost.com) announced late last week that Mohammed Bagha had joined its security team as the new chief information security officer.

Bagha is a specialist in Unix host-based security. He was previously employed at security organizations Entercept and NetSec, and worked on government and military security contracts while living in Washington DC. He has authored and co-authored several publications on a range of security topics.

"Security overwhelmingly is the number one concern on the Internet today, and Mohammed is quite well known in Internet circles for detecting and preventing security breaches," says Christopher Faulkner, CEO of C I Host. "His joining the C I Host team should make our 215,000 clients sleep much better at night."
