Microsoft Expands MAPP, Shares Attack Data With Incident Responders 18
Trailrunner7 writes "Microsoft is expanding its MAPP program that shares attack and protection information with other security vendors and will now be sharing some data with incident responders, as well. The new system will enable organizations such as CERTs and internal IR teams to exchange information on specific attacks and general threats. Now, Microsoft is expanding and changing the MAPP program so that more people will have access to some of the data and the information will be available earlier. Until now, MAPP members get access to patch data 24 hours before the release. Microsoft will be giving that information to MAPP companies three business days before Patch Tuesday going forward. The new MAPP for Responders program is an extension of the existing system and is designed to allow incident response teams to share information among themselves and to benefit from the threat intelligence that Microsoft has, as well."

Sigh.. The Godwin's law of Slashdot now moving up to first post. The mark of a closed zealot mind is calling everything you don't like the work of shills.
This summary is not praising anyone, it is a factual story about MS changing their MAPP program. As someone working in security I find it interesting. We don't like facts now?
If you have a relevant argument about NSA in this context it would be much helped by non ad hominem arguments.
