Computer security and privacy are among the top concerns facing not only information technology professionals, but also anyone who uses a computer. Every week there are reports of newly discovered security problems in all types of software, from individual applications and services to Windows, Linux, UNIX and other platforms. How will your desktop computer -- or your company's enterprise network -- fare when the next computer virus hits? How safe or private is your personal information? Does the computer industry have a long-term plan to address these concerns, and what can the industry, and you, do today? Earlier this year, Microsoft accelerated its response to these concerns, launching a company-wide effort called Trustworthy Computing. One of the key Microsoft executives leading this initiative is Craig Mundie, Senior Vice President and Chief Technical Officer, Advanced Strategies and Policy, who today addresses issues including computer security and privacy in a keynote speech at the RSA Conference 2002 in San Jose, Calif. To preview the speech, explore Trustworthy Computing, and learn what's ahead for Microsoft, customers and the industry, PressPass spoke with Mundie.
