Firehoses and Asbestos Pants: Security at Microsoft from Response to Lifecycle

Presented at Kiwicon 6: The Con of the Beast (2012), Nov. 17, 2012, 3 p.m. (30 minutes)

In the ten years since the Trustworthy Computing memo, we've learned a few things at Microsoft about the processes an organization needs to have in place to respond to security vulnerabilities and incidents. This talk will share many of those lessons with you - from that initial report to building the next version of the product. There will be military metaphors and card games.


Presenters:

  • Leigh Honeywell
    After her exile from Canada, Leigh Honeywell joined Trustworthy Computing at Microsoft and is now a program manager with the Microsoft Security Engineering Center. She's an advisor to the Ada Initiative because she cares about gender issues in open technology and culture, and to the SecTor conference because Canada deserves security too :(
