Microsoft this week named a new top executive for its Security Response Center, the unit responsible for addressing vulnerabilities in the company's existing products.
Kevin Kean, who had been working as a senior group product manager on Windows Server 2003, is taking over for Steve Lipner as head of the unit that issues security bulletins and patches for Microsoft's existing products.
Lipner is remaining with Microsoft's security unit as director of security engineering strategy. He will lead a small team of people that will create new programs to help Microsoft customers operate their systems more securely.
"It's just another piece of our commitment to trustworthy computing and secure products for our customers," Lipner said.
