Approfitto della necessaria segnalazione della disponibilità di Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 in italiano come riportato da Renato, per riportarvi l'insieme dei post del blog di IE nei quali sono stati forniti i dettagli delle varie funzionalità in area sicurezza di IE8, direttamente tratto da un utilissimo riepilogo dello stesso Eric Lawrence, IE Security Program Manager:

• Part IV: The XSS Filter explains cross-site-scripting attacks and details how the new IE8 feature will help mitigate the most common vulnerability in software today.
• Part V: Comprehensive Protection describes how the Web Application Defenses, Local Browser Defenses, and Social Engineering defenses we’ve built for IE8 help provide comprehensive protection from malicious sites.
