This presenation will offer a technical overview of the security engineering process behind Windows Vista. Windows Vista is the first end-to-end major OS release in the Trustworthy Computing era from Microsoft. Come see how we’ve listened to feedback from the security community and how we’ve changed how we engineer our products as a result. The talk covers how the Vista engineering process is different from Windows XP, details from the largest-commercial-pentest-in-the-world, and a sneak peek at some of the new mitigations in Vista that combat memory overwrite vulnerabilities. It includes behind the scenes details you won’t hear anywhere else.
