Ned Curic, Microsoft Strategic Security Advisor, will unveil the details of Microsofts Strategic Security Initiative at The IT Summit March 22, 2006 in Denver.
February 19, 2006 (Press Release) --
The IT Summit is pleased to announce that Ned Curic will provide details to the broad security framework expressed by Microsoft's founder Bill Gates. Curic is a Microsoft Strategic Security advisor. According to Curic security is the number one priority for Microsoft software architects.
In his keynote address at the RSA Conference 2006, Microsoft Corp. Chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates shared Microsoft’s immediate and future plans to achieve a more secure digital future, where interconnected networks worldwide allow people to work and play across a multitude of devices, products, services and organizations, with greater confidence in the security of their experiences. Gates highlighted advancements in the forthcoming Windows Vista™ release such as isolation techniques to reduce the impact of malware, improved identity and access controls, and better data protection. He also showcased innovations surrounding the platform such as Windows OneCare™ Live, and industry partnerships such as the SecureIT Alliance. He called for the industry to come together to achieve a more secure computing experience for all users.
“This rapid adoption of the digital lifestyle offers new computing opportunities for both personal and business use,” Gates said. “Our vision for security is to create a world where there is greater trust — where people and organizations can use a range of devices to be more reliably and securely connected to the information, services and people that matter most to them.”
Gates emphasized that the vision of a digital lifestyle can only succeed if it is designed with security at its core. Gates highlighted Microsoft’s unique intelligence on the ever-evolving threat landscape — insights gleaned from more than 2 billion executions of the Microsoft® Malicious Software Removal Tool, more than 230 million users of MSN® Hotmail®, Microsoft’s product support services, Windows® Defender, and the Online Crash Analysis tool — noting that these insights enable Microsoft to not only respond more quickly to the evolving threat environment (including an increasing threat of botnets and rootkits and the growing threat of attacks on multiple devices), but also to design long-term security strategies that anticipate future trends. Accordingly, he emphasized four principles required to achieve the vision of a seamlessly connected, more secure digital lifestyle for consumers and businesses: a trust ecosystem, security engineering, simplicity and fundamentally secure platforms.
