Microsoft to provide security strategy update

Joris Evers writes in C|Net News:

Senior Microsoft executives on Thursday plan to provide an update on the software maker's security strategy and product plans, including its upcoming enterprise anti-spyware offering, sources said.

Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer and Mike Nash, corporate vice president of Microsoft's Security Business & Technology Unit, are scheduled to discuss the company's "security strategy and product road map" at an event in Munich, Germany, on Thursday morning, a source close to Microsoft said Tuesday.

The event is expected to include more details on Microsoft's upcoming tools to fight spyware in the enterprise, sources familiar with the company's plans said. A Microsoft representative declined to comment for this report.

Microsoft has been testing a consumer version of Windows AntiSpyware since January and has said it would also deliver a version of the product for corporate users that would support enterprise needs such as management and deployment. The company has not yet provided a delivery time for the product.
