Goodbye Google ATAP, it was a blast. The White House asked if I would kindly create a #CyberUL, so here goes! — .mudge (@dotMudge) June 29, 2015

It's not clear how Zatko's relationship with the government has been established, since the man himself said on Twitter that his new "gig is not in the Whitehouse" (sic). If Zatko sets up a non-profit security research institution, Re/code believes that it'll be the recipient of some government funds if it turns out to be successful. Zatko's probably the ideal person to lead the time, since his colleagues at the Lopht think tank pitched the project all the way back in 1998. In fact, you can even watch the man himself testifying in front of the Senate by clicking the video link below and hoping that fashion never, ever, draws inspiration from this period in history.
