Microsoft solution against worm attacks
C|Net | at | by Mike
Microsoft on Wednesday launched a major security initiative intended to address concerns that its software is prone to security problems and virus attacks. On Tuesday, Microsoft contacted about 1,000 of its largest customers to outline its program, called the Strategic Technology Protection Program, and address their concerns about recent worm attacks, said analysts and sources close to the company.
The first part of STPP, "Get Secure," provides Microsoft customers with a security toolkit that consolidates software patches, "hot fixes" and updates into one place. Microsoft also will offer free technical support for security matters, and through regional account representatives it will work with customers to assure their networks are secure.
