ENT News | at | by Mike

Microsoft published a white paper on its Web site last week giving an overview of its internal security measures. While Microsoft's security is not perfect, and there have been highly publicized compromises of the company's network and Web sites, there are few IT organizations in charge of securing major enterprises that have more familiarity with the products they deploy than the Microsoft Operations and Technology Group.

In addition to supporting the IT operations of Microsoft, a Fortune 500 company, OTG also is tasked with being one of the earliest and most thorough testers of Microsoft technologies.
