Service Pack 2 For Micorosft Exchange Server Released

Which can be more of a nightmare than added feauture. Spent most weekend studying Firewalls, packet inspection and ACL's. Learning about chokepoints, DMZ, dual homed servers.

Microsoft Security

It amazes me that Microsoft has already released nine patches this month alone. These vulnerabilities range from remote execution to tampering with your FTP clients. Some of the vulnerabilities allow attackers to take complete control of your system as well. All I can say is backup, backup, backup. I recommend turning on automatic updates as well. I also suggest reading Micrsoft Security Advisories.

Ezine Directory

I got published on Ezine directory for some of my articles on security.They even gave me expert author status. I like this. I plan to continue writing articles to help home users and small businesses with security issues. Im currently reading Practical Unix and Internet Security.

Microsoft releases new security product.

Microsoft released "Microsoft Client Protection" It's supposed to protect you from Spyware, Viruses and worms. There is also MS Antispyware in build 615 released on Monday. They also offer a Enterprise addition. I think Microsoft should focus more on designing a secure OS and not needing to produce addons and SP's IMHO.
