The Homeland Security Department is adding yet another high-profile cyber expert to its staff.
Rosemary Wenchel, who has spent a majority of her career in the Defense Department working on cyber issues, moved to the National Protection and Programs Directorate as the new deputy assistant secretary for cybersecurity coordination, according to an email from DHS deputy under secretary for cybersecurity Mark Weatherford to staff obtained by Federal News Radio.
In her new role, Wenchel will use her long-time DoD experience to coordinate joint cybersecurity efforts between the two agencies, including the National Security Agency.
She also will oversee operations at the DHS-DoD Joint Coordination Element located at Fort Meade, Md.
Additionally, Wenchel will work with the DHS Science and Technology Directorate to make sure cybersecurity research and development efforts are coordinated with agency policy and operations.
Wenchel replaces Adm. Mike Brown, who retired in January.

Protesters Blast Wells Fargo Bonuses, Political Donations
About 40 protesters marched from Occupy MN's "People's Plaza" to the Wells Fargo center this morning to blast the bank.
The protesters were accompanied by Michele Bachmann, John Kline and Erik Paulsen imitators, who stood behind the protesters shaking their heads in vehement disagreement with what the protesters were saying.
The demonstration focused on the total bonuses paid to top Wells Fargo executives since 2008, the year of the bailouts, which amounts to $141,083,671 -- money the demonstrators suggested would've been better spent on schools, parks, Social Security and jobs.
Elise Kulzer, a young woman from Ham Lake, Minnesota, criticized big money's influence in politics.
Minnesota's congressional delegation: "Puppets for the 1%"?
"The notion that we're living in a democracy is a joke," Kulzer said."
