Ex-Mozilla security boss Window Snyder has joined Apple.

Snyder, who worked at Mozilla between 2006 and 2008, and is credited  
with making Firefox's security response more professional, joins Apple  
after a spell in consulting.

Prior to joining Mozilla, Snyder worked at Microsoft where she acted  
as security lead on Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows  
Server 2003 and at security consultancy @stake.

Synder started work with Apple on Monday as senior security product  
manager, IDG reports.

Apple has a reputation, mostly deserved, of not playing well with  
security researchers who discover flaws in its technology. Snyder has  
a proven track record of building bridges, so her recruitment has  
already been welcomed as a positive step towards detente.

While at Mozilla, Snyder called on Apple to be more open about how it  
handles security bugs.
