I was telling the audience (about 10 people including the Security Officer) that there is a good chance that IT will not define a set of hardware anymore but that the user will buy their own and use it for business. Additionally, different people have different ... 
Get off XP or Risk your Business?One of the highest hit rates I ever had on my blog was one I wrote right before Conficker broke out. I called it Playing Russian Roulette with your Network. The background was, that we released an out of band security update and our customers came back and asked us, whether they really shall deploy it – this situation then led to Conficker. About 12 months from today, Windows XP will ... 
Security in 2013 – the way forward?Typically January is the month where we are asked to make predictions on the trends for the New Year. I do not like this as I am an engineer and not a fortune tellerJ. But there are things we know and things we definitely need to drive this year. I would actually put it into the context of typical hygiene of any IT environment. Let's try to understand, where we stand ... 
The Directory in the Cloud?It seems that it is an eternity ago – and it is. Pretty much three years ago, Doug Cavit and me published a paper called the Cloud Computing Security Considerations. Even though it is three years, the paper is still worth reading as the content still applies. What we basically said was, that if you look at the Cloud, there are five areas of Considerations: Compliance and Risk Management: Organizations shifting ... 
In one of my latest blogs Security in 2013 – the way forward? I mentioned that I have two slides showing the evolution of Windows in the light of the evolving threat landscape and the evolution of the Internet. I got some requests for this deck. Therefore I posted it on my Downloads page. You . . . → Read More: Windows Security Evolution I would like you to sit back, close your eyes and think about the year 2001. Think about how you used technology back then, how you used the Internet. Now, let’s take it a little bit further back in history and think of the year 2000. Just after we realized that the Year-2000-Problem was handled . . . → Read More: 10 Reasons to migrate off Windows XP I know, that’s the second time now I am doing this comparison thingy and I promise that I will stop again and deliver you a cool tool as the next post but I read this article: Why I’ve finally had it with my Linux server and I’m moving back to Windows – be sure that . . . → Read More: Moving from Linux to Windows Sorry but you do not get a date (I do not have one either). I was just reading an article on Bink.ru with a nice representation of the Windows timeline Roger On March 24th, we got the certificate for the Common Criteria certification for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 on EAL 4+. Here are the certified products: http://www.commoncriteriaportal.org/products/ and here you find the certificate. A great job by the team – congratulations! Roger You might have seen this experiment but it is absolutely astonishing. A guy called Andy from Scotland tested the upgrade path from Windows 1 through to Windows 7. 10 minutes worth investing if you want to get some nostalgic feelings: Here is the original blog post: Chain of fools : Upgrading through every version . . . → Read More: Upgrading from Windows 1 to Windows 7 An year ago we launched Microsoft Security Essentials. I remember the day as I was looking at the Twitter stream to see the overall reactions and they were simply great! Further on, when I travelled, the main complaint I heard in some countries was: “Why do we not have it?” and it is a fair question. . . . → Read More: One year free anti-malware and what we learned I once wanted to text Windows 7 XP Mode on my notebook or my home PC but unfortunately I failed as both CPUs do not support Hardware Assisted Virtualization (HAV). Now, we released an update for Windows 7 64bit systems to remove this requirement: Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB977206). This could . . . → Read More: Run Windows 7 XP Mode on CPU’s without virtualization Well, you know, fairly often when I look at showcases I am a little bit disappointed I have to admit. Mainly because the technology which is shown is really cool and I would love to leverage it – just it works in the US only. Or better, it works across the globe but the data . . . → Read More: Azure Showcase: The Eye on Earth If you are a regular reader of my blog, you might have been surprise today – but yes, it is still my blog From time to time I am looking into different ways of doing things.
