The biggest "move" this week is Enrique Salem, new CEO of Symantec. It isn't often that there are CEO changes at household name companies like Symantec. It seems obvious that this move has been in the works for a long time. Enrique was previously CEO of Brightmail, which was acquired by Symantec back in 2004. Enrique was brought on board with the acquisition and has risen through the ranks at Symantec ever since.
