CNet: Air Force turns to MS for security
At first, I thought this CNet article called Air Force turns to Microsoft for network security was a joke. Unfortunately not.
“The consolidation will result in standard configurations for all Microsoft desktop and server software,” the Air Force said in the statement. “The standard configurations will enforce rigorous security profiles and will be updated online with security patches and software updates.”
Microsoft representatives confirmed that the company will work with the Air Force to define security configurations for the agency’s desktop and servers.
Saving money and enhancing security thanks to Microsoft? That ranks up there with Windows for Warships (which is equally scary).
