Microsoft and Adobe: Collaboration Against Threats By Roger Halbheer, on July 28th, 2010 You know my opinion on collaboration between countries, on public-private-partnerships as well as on collaboration between companies.
Since quite a while we run a program called MAPP – the Microsoft Active Protections Program, where we share vulnerability information with security vendors to help them to get signatures out to our joint customers the moment we release a security update.

It is another clear signal that we are up for action to address the security challenges in the ecosystem.
