Summary of Bitlocker Discussions

Last week there was quite some discussion about “successful attacks” on Bitlocker. Those discussions are often quite interesting for me as they show sometimes that people are looking for one technical solution for all the problems. Bitlocker has a clear threat model it wants to protect you from. This is mainly the loss of your…

"Black Screen of Death" Reports

Security and Usability

It is not a new concept: The secure way is only secure if it is the easiest way. I have seen a lot of solutions which are extremely secure – in the eyes of the security people. However, the users find a lot of ways to circumvent the security measures because they are too complex…

Talking about Transparency – Windows Azure Dashboard

This is a nice feature – on this page http://www.microsoft.com/windowsazure/support/status/servicedashboard.aspx we show the current state of our Azure services. This is the kind of transparency (on the operations’ side) we need. There is much more needed with regards to process transparency but this is a great first step
