Microsoft announced July 28 that Adobe will begin informing vendors of software vulnerabilities via the Microsoft Active Protections Program (MAPP). The announcement comes in conjunction with the opening of Black Hat USA 2010, where Microsoft is unveiling a number of products designed to enhance the security of its platforms and applications.
Originally launched in October 2008, MAPP was built with the intention of delivering vulnerability information to security software vendors ahead of Redmond’s regular Patch Tuesday updates. Microsoft claims MAPP has resulted in a decrease in the time needed by IDS/IPS vendors to create protections, as well as providing an opportunity for smaller vendors to access involved data in a more expedited manner.
As part of the program, Adobe will share its product vulnerabilities with 65 global MAPP members.
“Microsoft acknowledges that the constantly changing threat landscape requires a new approach to security—collaboration and shared responsibility are key as past individual efforts are no longer enough,” Mike Reavey, director of the Microsoft Security Response Center, wrote in a July 28 statement. “We’re excited about extending the benefits of MAPP to Adobe users as we’ve seen clear evidence of its impact in advancing customer protections.”
In its own statement, Adobe suggested that MAPP would become “an important part” of the company’s product-security initiatives.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
Excellent read, I must say. You’ve researched the topic very well
