Title:Latest Trends and Patch Management
Presenter: Steve Riley

Abstract
Spend an evening with Steve Riley, Senior Product Manager from Microsoft's Security Business and Technology unit, as he explores the latest in security trends and updates you on patch management. Attackers keep getting better and better, but until recently we as defenders were relying on approaches that were developed for a different time. Steve will update you on the latest defensive thinking and strategies to better combat new attacks. Patch management, of course, is only part of this; the best way to get patch management under control is to have a strategy, which Steve will help you understand how to implement.
