Security Vulnerability Research & Defense

When it comes to computer security most people are happy to ensure automatic updates is turned or WSUS is configured

Some of us go a little further than that and make sure we’re 100% up-to-date on the latest patches and issues. If Susan’s blog inspires ONE person to rethink their attitude to patching it’s a step in the right direction

 Anyway, last night there were a whole load of security updates on the Microsoft download website.

If you subscribe to the The Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) blog you’ll already have had advance warning of this. As i was reading through the January release details they mentioned a blog i hadn’t seen before. It’s quite new and is called the Security Vulnerability Research & Defense blog

The blog goes into detail about the information Microsoft discover when researching vulnerabilities. Ensuring your getting updates from the security response center is probably enough, but if the geek in you wants to know more about HOW software gets compromised take a look.

I find the subject fascinating, even if a lot of it does goes straight over my head!
