InfoWorld Microsoft is pushing the improved security of its Windows Server 2008 software package as one of the primary reasons why business customers should upgrade to the long-awaited product refresh as quickly as possible.In addition to being fully designed under Microsoft's SDLC (security development lifecycle) initiative -- a program already credited with allowing Microsoft to ship its products with far fewer vulnerabilities than previous iterations -- Server 2008 has new features that should help customers address a range of important security issues, according to company officials. |

By Robert McMillan, IDG News Service
February 12, 2008
InfoWorld
Microsoft released 11 security updates Tuesday to fix critical flaws in its products, including a publicly known ActiveX bug that affects users of the Visual FoxPro database. In total, 17 individual software flaws were patched in the updates. Microsoft rates six updates as critical, meaning they should be installed as soon as possible, while the remaining five updates are considered "important." Last month was an easier month on IT administrators, when Microsoft released just two updates. [More...] [Comments...] |

We've seen a boxcar o' breaches and break-ins this year, but these were the most grisly – and the hardest to take our eyes from

The old Chinese curse says, "May you live in interesting times." It seems a lot of IT security departments may have been cursed in 2007, because most of them have had one "interesting" year. In fact, according to one report, a whopping 85 percent of organizations have experienced at least one reportable breach in the past 12 months. (See Study: Breaches of Personal Data Now Prevalent in Enterprises.) |

Security firm predicts Stormy weather for New Year's weekend
By Joel Hruska | Published: December 27, 2007 - 11:20AM CT
ARS Technica Earlier this week, we covered the appearance of a new variant of the Storm Worm. The attacks it launched, however, have evidently been unsuccessful; the authors' decision to wait until December 24 to release the worm into the wild ultimately helped prevent attacks, not create them. Let's face it: December 24 and 25 aren't exactly high Internet traffic days, so there was no chance at achieving critical mass. |

Firefox 3 is shaping up to be a very secure browser thanks to new features
Jason Mick (Blog) - December 21, 2007 3:02 PM
DailyTech
A scathing report on browser security from Microsoft, which claimed in an "unbiased" analysis that Internet Explorer was vastly more secure than Mozilla's Firefox, ignited a recent war of words between the two browser makers. However, Mozilla decided that it was wiser to back up its words with action, rather than just more talk.
The end result is that the company just released the second beta candidate of the third iteration of its increasingly popular Firefox browser, and this release ups the ante on security with many new features..... Comment in the Forums

Researcher: iPhone has potential security problems
Security researcher lists ways that determined hackers could use the Web to try to find a way into Apple's iPhone
By Jeremy Kirk, IDG News Service, Info World September 21, 2007
Apple's iPhone is a tough target for hackers, but a security researcher warned Friday that there are ways the sleek device could potentially be compromised. The iPhone has no security software, but Apple doesn't let people load third-party programs on the device, reducing the risk of infection from malicious software. But when the iPhone is connected to the Web, possibilities emerge, said Marius van Oers, a security researcher with McAfee's AVERT Labs in Amsterdam.

It's not easy to get people to talk about their mistakes. "So how did it feel when you hit your thumb with the hammer? What do you wish you’d done differently?" |
