Vista security an issue at show
Microsoft Corp. has placed security as one of the top selling points for the Windows Vista OS, due out at the end of next year. But exactly how much more secure Vista will be than its predecessors is a point of concern here at the Microsoft IT Forum 2005 in Barcelona.
Vista will face an increasingly malicious online playing field, where it will be carefully probed by virus writers and hackers, said industry insiders here.
Banks haven’t been able to completely stop bank robbers, said Amy Roberts, Microsoft’s director of the Security Business and Technology Unit, but many of the new features in Vista will reduce the risk and ability for machines - and their users - to fall victim.
"I do think it will offer improved protection," Roberts said Wednesday during an interview at the Microsoft IT Forum 2005 in Barcelona.
And some security experts appear to agree that it has improved. Marcus Murray, senior security advisor for TrueSec AB, said he had seen Vista’s security features under a nondisclosure agreement. While he did not elaborate on specifics, he said security was better, but warned that nothing is invulnerable.
A few of those security features have already been incorporated into Windows XP Service Pack 2, including data-execution protection that uses both software and hardware capabilities to deflect damage from buffer-overflow attacks, Roberts said. Antispyware protection under the renamed product Windows Defender will be incorporated into Vista, through Internet Explorer 7. In addition, a user-account protection feature in Vista allows for greater control of the access a person has to perform certain functions, Robert said.
