10 Years of Trustworthy Computing at Microsoft
Before 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 XP
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 very well by the industry. 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 Security
A long title but this was the title of the official press statement yesterday. Compliance is always a key question in the public cloud space. Therefore it is very important for us that we now achieved three things: Office 365 is compliant with EU Model Clauses, Data Processing Agreements and ISO 27001 among other standards.

Cybersecurity–More than a good headline
A lot of governments all across the globe are working on starting, restarting or pushing their Cybersecurity initiative. What often concerns me is, that the last real headline has more impact on the strategy and the themes to be addressed than a structure or a plan or a strategy.

Do you really want to move to the Cloud? Really? By Roger Halbheer, on September 25th, 2009 Well, the question is not too provocative. The longer I look into the risk, the more I am asking this question. Now, we have to separate the different company sizes. I guess for a small and medium business – with the correct safety measures – it makes a lot of sense and you could safe some money. But what about governments or larger companies?
I just looked at a discussion between Bruce Schneier and Marcus Ranum. I agree with Bruce’s view in about 98% (I let you figure out the final 2%).
So, do me a favor: Watch the video at the end of this article: Security challenges with cloud computing services.
Done that? Now, think about the workloads you have in your company and tell me in the comments which load you will push to the cloud. Is it e-Mail? HR? Your customer relationship management? And if yes, under what conditions? I would love to hear more from you
And the deal is: I will let you know in the next few weeks how I see the cloud security model.
Thank you
Roger
