Microsoft to Introduce Faster Security Disclosures

Posted by timothy on from the mistakes-were-made dept.

Starwax writes "Here's a very interesting strategy by Microsoft. After years of complaining about irresponsible disclosure of security alerts by grey hats, Microsoft will now confirm and discuss the vulnerabilities in a new pilot project launching on Tuesday. Advisories will be issued within one business day of a publicly reported security hole along with guidance and mitigation."

    In short this is Microsofts way of going "oh fuck!" because OSS is starting to take away a large percent of it's market or will soon.

    MS are pulling loads of "inovative projects" out of their arses and going "look, we're doing new stuff! just hold on we'll fix it!"
