Abstract
In Windows XP Service Pack 2 Microsoft is introducing a set of security technologies that help improve the ability of Windows XP-based computers to withstand malicious attacks from viruses and worms. The technologies include network protection, memory protection, safer e-mail handling, more secure browsing, and improved computer maintenance. Together these security technologies will help to make it more difficult to attack Windows XP -- even if the latest updates are not applied. The changes are important, are necessary, and will affect both developers and administrators -- in this detailed session Steve Riley will help you understand what's new and how to prepare for the coming upgrade.
