Microsoft will provide security vendors with early access to technical details of its monthly security patches before the software updates are actually released. This will give the companies that write attack-blocking code a bit of a cushion as they write and test their security software. Microsoft also plans to give regular users a little more help too, by beefing up its public security bulletins with information on whether or not hackers are likely to write malicious software that exploits the flaws that Microsoft patches each month. Microsoft has vowed to discuss three new security programs at this week’s Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas.”]
