10 Years of Trustworthy Computing at MicrosoftBefore joining Microsoft a little bit more than 10 years ago, I ran a team at PricewarehoureCoopers on e-Business Risk Management – classical security consulting in the Internet bubble time. When I announced that I will leave PwC and join Microsoft, I got interesting reactions (and remember, this was 2001). Mainly they were along two lines: Oh, you are joining a desktop company? ... 
10 Reasons to migrate off Windows XPI 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.

How you used technology, how you used the Internet, the ... 
Office 365 Becomes First and Only Major Cloud Productivity Service to Comply With Leading EU and U.S. Standards for Data Protection and SecurityA long title but this was the title of the official press statement yesterday.

It is there: http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/ And now, the disclaimer: It runs only on genuine Windows! Have fun, enjoy. I am running it since quite a while with my friends and families . . . → Read More: Microsoft Security Essentials – Ready to download I read an article on Cyber Security Challenge Brings Out the Best about a “defend your system” challenge by the USENIX Security Conference in Montreal, Canada. I like the approach: Find and fix common vulnerabilities on a web server. Roger I recently had different discussions with different customers and we were looking into the key questions to ask, when you plan to move to the cloud (yes, I am working on a corresponding blog post). I was then asked whether we have an answer to these questions – well no. For sure not for all . . . → Read More: Hey, You, Get Off of My Cloud I started to read the article and actually just wanted to Tweet about it but then I voted and had to publish at least the current state: When it comes to security, who do you trust more?
