- 153 views
Anyone interested in IT 'security' should enjoy this video presentation. Three excellent speakers! http://www.itbriefingcenter.com/programs/g...rosoft_358.html If there is one constant in IT security, it's that there will always be a new threat. Just when you think you've secured your organization, a new danger comes along. That's why organizations need to know that their software vendors are fully committed to security and vested in driving innovations that will counter emerging threats. Software vendors can no longer rely on ad hoc and unstructured security development approaches. Security must be engineered into every stage of software development. In…

Completing Access Control support for XDomainRequest
by Guest NewsBot- 0 replies
- 71 views
Back in October, Sunava described changes that we made to the XDomainRequest (XDR) object in IE8 between the Beta 1 and Beta 2 releases. This object allows your AJAX web pages to request data from sites with a different hostname from the page itself, something that IE doesn’t allow for security reasons via XMLHttpRequest. Since Beta 1 we’ve been working with the W3C Web Application group on the Access Control framework and the changes we made in Beta 2 were to adopt the Simple Cross-Site Access Request. I’m happy to announce that we have recently completed our support for the Access Control Check using the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header defined by the updated…

It’s great to see Windows 7 Beta finally released to the world! We're very proud of what has been accomplished over the last months in many ways, it sets a new quality bar for a beta operating system release. Building on top of the Windows Vista foundation, Windows 7 adds a great deal of polish and refinement to both the user interface and the underlying architecture, while at the same time introducing many new features and improvements that support new hardware, give power users and casual users alike better tools to manage their digital lives, and enable new classes of application experience. Over future blog entries, I’ll spend time drilling into some of those areas…
