Evolving Ecosystem Security

Presented at Kiwicon 7: Cyberfriends (2013), Nov. 10, 2013, 11:45 a.m. (30 minutes).

Over the last decade Microsoft has invested heavily in security though initiatives like the SDL, and the result has been a reduction in the attack surface and vulnerabilities in our products and services. More recently Microsoft has focused on reducing the window of opportunity that attackers have to exploit vulnerabilities through the Microsoft Active Protections Program (MAPP) and releasing tools like EMET. Microsoft is now focusing its attention on reducing the lifespan of not only the vulnerabilities used by miscreants but also the infrastructure they use to conduct their attacks. This session will look at the new initiatives and tools coming out of the MAPP program. The mission for the MAPP team is simple: mitigate entire classes of attack and protect customers.
