The company will present at the Black Hat Briefings -- an annual gathering in Las Vegas where hackers, researchers, government officials and corporate technology specialists unveil and analyze emerging computer security threats.
Microsoft's full day of sessions on Windows Vista reflects its effort to improve security in the upcoming operating system and cut down on the bugs that have made previous versions of its flagship program notoriously vulnerable to online attacks.
The company will be showing the audience some of the key changes it has made in Windows Vista security, and seeking feedback from researchers on where it could still improve, said Stephen Toulouse, security program manager with Microsoft's Security Response Center.
