Microsoft improving bug rate – Allen







Microsoft improving bug rate – Allen

Microsoft improving bug rate – Allen 08/10/2004 10:57 AM

A senior Microsoft New Zealand executive, Terry Allen, confirmed this month that the company’s antivirus plan includes “behavioural” strategies, monitoring the kind of actions viruses attempt to perform on a computer system, rather than relying wholly on signatures. The conventional strategy of regular updates to a database of malware signatures is becoming more and more difficult to sustain as the lag between Microsoft’s notifying an exploitable bug in its software and the first hacker exploitation of it becomes shorter, says Allen, the manager of Microsoft's enterprise sales and partner group. With Nimda, three years ago, the interval was almost a year; for the recent Sasser worm, it was 18 days.

Gartner: Microsoft Security Improving


Gartner: Microsoft Security Improving 02/10/2004 12:13 PM
A recent Gartner report corroborates what industry observers have known for months: Microsoft's security initiatives are paying off for the software giant, and as customers move to more modern Windows versions such as Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, they will participate in the benefits as well. Gartner did, however, hedge its bets by chiding Microsoft for blaming many of its security compromises on those who write malicious code, perhaps in a bid to make its otherwise glowing report on Microsoft security seem less one-sided. The report is also careful to cast Microsoft's security improvements in guarded terms.

Christopher Allen, Rip Van Winkle


Christopher Allen, Rip Van Winkle 03/06/2004 01:57 AM
I met Christopher Allen about a decade ago, when he ran Consensus Development, a company that made a commercial SSL toolkit. (Prior to that, he was involved in the startup of VeriSign, and in the development of the SSL reference implementation for Netscape.) I hadn't heard from him in a long time, and his recent essay, Se curity and Cryptography: The Bad Business of Fear, explains why. When he sold his company to Certicom in 1999, he signed a 5 3-year non-compete agreement. When it expired, he re-entered the security industry, expecting to find it much changed:
Internet time had still been moving fast back in 1999 and I wasn't sure how many generations had gone by in the security industry. One, two, more?

Paul Allen Wants To Build The Computer
Tutor


Paul Allen Wants To Build The Computer
Tutor
02/12/2004 07:39 PM
Since leaving Microsoft, Paul Allen has worked on a variety of "big" projects - most of which have gone nowhere. His latest, is a plan to build a computer tutor. He wants to build a system that can ace Advanced Placement exams, often used by high school kids to get college credit. The idea is not to use artificial intelligence - though, that seems to be a semantics issue. The way they describe the system it is an artificial intelligence machine, whether they like it or not. Of course, the more important issue is the one the article brushes over: this is a contest. Instead of just putting a bunch of people in a room to work on this, they're putting up money for three different teams to complete the task. This way, they can (in theory) get competing approaches and see what works best. It's a bit of money-based evolution, I guess. Of course, you wonder if this is a better method than something like the X Prize, where no upfront money is given, but there's a big prize at the end for the first successful contestant.

Accidental Zillionaire : Demystifying
Paul Allen
11/03/2003 01:01 AM
Everyone knows about Bill Gates, the boy-wonder founder of Microsoft and the planet’s richest citizen. Although less well known, Paul Allen helped make Gates’s good fortunes possible, and he's certainly worth study for his mistakes just as much as his many successes. Enter former Industry Standard reporter Laura Rich, who does little to demystify Allen the man, but paints a useful portrait all the same. Rich takes readers through Allen’s career as an early Gates ally, a technically savvy man who first saw the possibilities of DOS, the operating system that drove a big chunk of the personal computer market, and launched several other software enterprises. Although he left Microsoft owing to illness in 1983 (according to Rich, Gates has behaved badly toward him ever since), Allen is still a major shareholder and has amassed a personal fortune that dwarfs the GNPs of whole nations. As Rich observes, Allen has put this money to good use as "technology’s archangel," but has also managed to lose staggering sums in misguided ventures--some too far ahead of their time, some just plain wacky.
