Microsoft Security Response Center Gets New BossThe point man for security bug fixes at Microsoft has stepped down as director of the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC).January 22, 2009 — IDG News Service — The point man for security bug fixes at Microsoft has stepped down as director of the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC). Microsoft's public relations firm confirmed that Andrew Cushman has been replaced by Mike Reavey, formerly a group manager within the MSRC, which coordinates Microsoft's response to emerging security threats and pumps out the monthly security updates for Windows products. Cushman became director of the MSRC about two years ago, and before that he managed Microsoft's relationship with the security community. He is well-respected by hackers and over the years has helped bolster Microsoft's reputation with a community that had previously been hostile toward his company. "He's done great things for Microsoft," said Dragos Ruiu, organizer of the CanSecWest hacking contest. "MSRC basically exists because of him." Cushman is not leaving Microsoft, however. He will stay on as a director in the company's security group. Like Reavey, he reports to George Stathakopoulos, Microsoft's general manager of security engineering and communications.
这个消息比较八卦，之所以贴出来，主要是因为和Andrew打过很多次交道，感觉在漏洞发现者管理这方面还是非常有经验的，他们的一些理念和措施，给微软带来的安全改善也是非常明显的。本身TST团队也在这些方面，向SWI和MSRC学习了很多。这次MSRC更换新安全总监，不知会对微软的安全策略有什么影响，大家可以拭目以待。：） |
