Microsoft is making a new security tool, dubbed URLScan, available to customers immediately. The company says that URLScan is designed to help customer protect IIS-based web servers from the most common types of attacks by helping to ensure that they only respond to legitimate requests. "URLScan is effective in protecting Web servers because most attacks share a common characteristic--they involve the use of a request that's unusual in some way," the company says in its release about this tool.
