The Insecurity in Microsoft's Newsest Security Announcements
Joe Wilcox writes in the Micorosft Monitor blog:
Last month's JupiterResearch report, "Microsoft's 2006 Product Strategy: What It Means for Partners and Competitors," explains how the company is competing more with partners and offers dire predictions for suppliers of security software. Microsoft's overnight security announcements accentuate the partner threat identified in the report.
Recap of the announcements: Microsoft unveiled a new corporate security product, Client Protection; Microsoft Antigen, based on technologies from its Sybari acquisition, will ship in first half of 2006; a new Microsoft-established industry consortium, Secure!T Alliance, will seek to create opportunities for existing to (quoting the press release) "to more effectively and efficiently build and integrate their products for the Microsoft platform."
My problems with Microsoft's security announcements are numerous, so I'll take them one by one. Each is my observation; Microsoft didn't discuss the announcements with me beforehand.
