Microsoft’s Brad Smith acknowledges past security failures, outlines new initiatives
Not everyone was as harsh on Microsoft’s previous mistakes. Jeff Williams, co-founder and chief technology officer at application security software platform provider Contrast Security Inc., noted that “while it’s pretty obvious in hindsight that they made a mistake, I think commentators are judging them without seeing the whole picture.”
“The unfortunate reality is that software is far more complex than most people understand,” he said. “A single application is built from dozens of source code repos, hundreds of open-source libraries, multiple application frameworks, server software and often multiple language platforms. And Microsoft has tens of thousands of applications, each of which has vulnerabilities reported all the time by tools, penetration testers, customers and more.”
