Microsoft Challenges hackers or security experts
Friday, August 04, 2006
Black Hat computer-security conference has experienced a new thing and a memorable one this time. The incident was that Microsoft, which has always been criticised for the security holes/issues in their previous versions of OSs, challanged and invited many security proffessionals to try and break the security of Windows Vista (next release from microsoft in OS). Some security experts say, that this move is considered as a brave move from Microsoft because Microsoft went straight to those people who have never liked them and say all bad words to the company and it's products.
This will certainly help Microsoft in actually knowing the techniques which these experts use and will find those weak areas in the Vista's security.
But this is interesting, that Microsoft has suddenly a different company and it always seems that Microsoft is heading with a defined plan from some time now. Now, it can be felt that Microsoft is actually working towards some of the major concerns of the company's reputation.
