Consumerization of IT–How to address this
Bring Your Own Device or Consumerization of IT are fairly hot themes in a lot of customer organizations. When I talk to customers, there are typically different reactions, once we bring this up. Some tell us, that it is not part of their strategy; some tell us that they plan to do it but that they have a hard time figuring out, how to secure such an environment; very, very ...
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.

Who needs a (vulnerable) iPad if you can get an nPad? By Roger Halbheer, on June 12th, 2010 I actually wanted to show nPad to you as I loved it – it is a new hardware factor to what we did since years on the tablet. I like this new hardware (see below) and then read this article, showing that Apple got hit fairly hard this week by a vulnerability in iPad: Apple’s Worst Security Breach: 114,000 iPad Owners Exposed.
This is what I think it interesting: Everybody jumps onto the cool Apple hardware and uses a consumer device like iPad, iPhone in the enterprise. What I like is the great interoperability which can be leveraged e.g. the sync from iPad to Exchange Active Sync.
So, coming back to the nPad: This is a great device, looking similar than an iPad but with Windows 7. As we are doing tablets since quite some time (Windows XP Tablet Edition), I am using one since then. With Windows 7 we actually include multi-touch and this is used in this model.
Looks really cool:
