Microsoft's Security Strategy

Abstract

Microsoft is the largest software vendor, but most people still do not think of it as a security vendor. Attitudes need to change. Its ' Trustworthy Computing' initiative has transformed its business, and it now has a massive security-related operation. The company' s security products business is only part of its security activity, but the product portfolio is large and growing. Trustworthy Computing is kept separate from the security products business. Even the restriction of Microsoft products only being relevant in Windows environments is fading as Microsoft takes leadership across the industry.
