Notice the red URL and the "Certificate Error" message. Why did Microsoft change the behavior so drastically? Well, because people can make decisions that hurt their security, even when they are using SSL. By moving to a different way of presenting this information to the user, they are helping the user make good decisions around security. And with that, we've come full circle. Summary Many books have been written about security in regards to technology such as how to secure your networking equipment, how to test for vulnerabilities in technologies, how do deploy patches across the enterprise, and so on. These are all important topics and require dedicated people to implement and maintain. This whitepaper took the approach of stepping back and looking at security as a holistic enterprise and in doing so, finding more meaningful ways of using technology to help people achieve security solutions. Hope you enjoyed it! 20
