During the last year, Michael has moved from working with internal Microsoft product groups, such as Windows, Xbox, Windows Azure and Visual Studio to working more closely with Microsoft customers to help them improve their secure software design and development practices. During this time he has learned a great deal about mapping internal Microsoft thinking to the "real world." In this keynote, Michael will share some of those experiences and describe some of the successful recommendations.
