Vistas Security Challenge
Tuesday, November 28th, 2006
Yes, Vista is more secure, but Microsoft remains a primary attack target. "Vista being more 
secure doesn’t necessarily make my organization more secure," warns Jeremiah Grossman, former Yahoo information security officer who’s founder and CTO of WhiteHat Security.
BitLocker encrypts files, so they can’t be read if a PC or laptop is lost or stolen. Conversely, BitLocker won’t encrypt files if it suspects a PC has been lost or stolen–a defense against data tampering. There’s an option to lock the boot process until the user supplies a PIN, much like an ATM card PIN, or inserts a USB flash drive that contains the key for decryption. Of course, that doesn’t give you permission to leave your laptop on the front seat of an unlocked car. Vista’s Security Challenge - News by InformationWeek
