U.K. adopts Microsoft's Security Program
eWeek | at | by Mike
The United Kingdom announced late Friday that it has signed up to participate in Microsoft Corp.'s recently announced Government Security Program, which gives it access to Windows source code and prescriptive guidance on security assurance.
Earlier this month Microsoft said it had formed a new global initiative to provide governments around the world with access to Windows source code under the new GSP security initiative, which is designed to "address the unique security requirements of governments and international organizations throughout the world."
