What is behind the security initiative announced by Microsoft today?
Valentine: Internet security is really about the ability of our customers — every business and every person — to be able to work, communicate and transact securely over the Internet and over their networks. It’s become incredibly clear that viruses and worms directed against our customers’ systems are on the increase. Microsoft is very aware of the fact that our customers are suffering from virus attacks that take their businesses offline or completely down, sometimes even for days. So we have to be able to respond in a much better way. “Code Red” and “Nimda” are just the two latest examples of worm viruses that have impacted businesses and the economy worldwide. These viruses have gone way beyond someone’s dorm-room science project, and it is incumbent on Microsoft and the industry to respond. We can’t ignore the fact that this behavior is becoming more prevalent and more hostile. Internet security is a worldwide issue that affects not only our customers, but also everyone connectin
