It’s not easy being Ben Fathi. As corporate vice president of Microsoft’s Security Technology Unit, Fathi took the place of longtime STU leader Mike Nash in March amid a larger management shake-up just days after Microsoft announced that the shipment date for Vista was slipping yet again. After Nash’s high-profile tenure, Fathi’s charge is more subtle: building what he calls a “trust ecosystem” around Vista and its new security features and promoting the company’s secure development practices. But first he must help get Vista out the door. Fathi sat down to talk with InfoWorld Senior Editor Paul Roberts at the recent Security Standard Conference in Boston about Vista’s progress, and the world after Vista.
