• Network Access Protection Life

    Want to see Network Access Protection and how it works? Well, you have two options: Either attend my Webcast tomorrow at 16:00 (http://www.microsoft.com/switzerland/technet/de/events.mspx) - we will make it available afterwards as well. Or join our session at TechDays (http://www.techdays.ch) called "365 Tage Stress mit Security?".

    We will Demo it with Windows Vista and Windows Server "Longhorn"

    Both are in high German.

    Looking forward to seeing you there :-)

  • Wanna Have Fun? Breaking Into Las Vegas

    There is a cool show on MSDN called: The Code Room: Breaking Into Vegas.

    From the abstract:

    In this episode of The Code Room watch the White Hats and Black Hats battle for the security of Las Vegas. Jessi Knapp and Microsoft Security Guru Joe Stagner narrate as the Hackers try to gain control of The Plaza's online money management system and our Security Team tries to stay one step ahead.
     
    It is pretty cool (and takes you about 30 minutes)

  • DOE Manual on Information Security

    The Department of Energy recently approved a comprehensive manual on procedures for protecting all manner of classified or controlled information in the Department's possession. The manual has not been readily available online, but a copy was obtained by Secrecy News and posted on the Federation of American Scientists web site.
