Every month Microsoft releases ordsprog

Every month Microsoft releases security patches for its software - and it's often a race against time for companies to roll these patches out across their business before a hacker takes advantage of the vulnerability. A security hole which allows hackers with malicious intentions to run code on Windows or Apple Mac computers is very serious, and all affected users should ensure they have defended their systems.

If you were planning a romantic date with someone from your IT department on Tuesday night, think again. Companies have been hanging on, waiting for the official fix from Microsoft for this serious security problem. Businesses will be eager to roll out these security patches as soon as possible to ensure their networks are properly defended. Any vulnerable computer user should update their systems at the earliest opportunity following the release of the patches on Tuesday.

The question on everyone's lips is - when will we see the next one, and will it have a more malicious payload. Apple Mac users need to be just as careful about protecting their computers with anti-virus software, firewalls and security patches as their friends and colleagues using Windows.

Go to [the] 'Tools' [menu] and 'Windows Update.' It will take you to a Microsoft page that will install all the latest security patches. There have been quite a number of security patches.

Users must realize that the threats are out there, and that you must use a good anti-virus program, such as the one Marshall offers all faculty, students and staff for free. Microsoft offers security patches, which are usually released on the second Tuesday of every month. It is also important that users of other operating systems keep their computers as up to date as possible.

Hackers are in a race against time to infect as many computers as possible through the WMF security hole before companies have a chance to put the patch in place. Everyone should apply the patch as soon as possible, and defend their networks with up-to-date anti-virus and anti-spam software.

Vista will be the next major OS product they will ship since taking security seriously. Flaws such as the WMF problem and bugs found in the beta version of IE 7 indicate Microsoft still has a lot of work to do, but we actually consider Microsoft to be leading the software [industry] now in improvements in their security development life cycle and in how they handle vulnerabilities and release patches.

Our behavioral approach is repeatedly validated by its detection and mitigation of day-zero threats like this one. Even if a patch were available, IT administrators will be hesitant to implement it immediately, given the recent history of untested Microsoft patches bringing down networks. So IT has to decide between implementing untested patches, and letting the patch age, putting users' machines and thus the network's security in jeopardy.

Vendors can take months to create patches, and sometimes users grumble about that. But the alternative is to have patches that can be circumvented or aren't appropriate for the vulnerability. It's a difficult balance.

It is essential that computers are protected from unauthorized access by remote hackers. All computer users need to patch against these flaws in Microsoft's software as quickly as possible, before hackers and virus writers try and take advantage of them.

Although IM threats were down this month, companies need to be aware that we view this as a temporary lull in activity and that the threats are going to get more malicious and sophisticated with time. February saw the first ever worm spread over IM networks using the Apple OS X platform. This speaks to the increased sophistication and ways that virus writers are trying to develop worms for different networks and operating systems. Companies need to know that unless they currently have an IM security solution in place, they are leaving their networks open to security attacks.

I'm not surprised [WMF] exploited 16-bit code. If you look over the security vulnerabilities, more and more are affecting versions of Windows prior to Windows XP SP2 and Windows Server 2003, and that's a good sign that the beating Windows took in prior years is slowing and that XP SP2 has affected the behavior [of hackers].

Microsoft has patches available for businesses and consumers, but the problem for enterprises is that they have to be careful in applying the patches, which can damage complex computer systems.

This is a huge improvement. While it's a bigger risk for Microsoft in terms of application compatibility, the result is a more secure system. Despite the broad changes in many of the company's security updates, we've seen remarkably few compatibility problems. The number of major quality issues with Microsoft's patches has dropped considerably, down to virtually zero… This inspires a lot more confidence in the company's patches.
