May 01, 2003MS Looks to Outsource Security TestingFound an interesting find at SecurityFocus today. Seems that MS is thinking of outsourcing some of its testing of security patches to external agencies. Atleast they are now thinking about it. In time, they may even take action and do it. I cannot fathem why with all the money they have that they don't have a bigger testing environment for patches. Especially since they already acknowledge such huge costs doing rolling out such things. With their Trustworthy Computing Initiative, hopefully Mike Howard and the crew at the Secure Windows Initiative department can beat the MS programmers and team leaders into submission and increase the quality of code and reduce the amount of bugs in WS2003. Even with that though, outsourcing testing is a pretty good idea, as they SHOULDN'T have MS's agenda as a factor when doing the testing. Time will tell I guess.
