2009 was yet another amazing year for Impacta, so I am proud to announce that we donated nearly 10% of gross profits for 2009 to local and non-local charities. Giving back to the community has always been a key tenet of Impacta’s core values, and we look forward to giving again in 2010.

Over the weekend I learned that I had received a developer security Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) award, and I just have to say what an honor this is. Working with MSRC to resolve vulnerabilities, contributing to the WCF security guide, etc., all that was already fun for me – but when you get an award for something you love doing [...]

Every organization is susceptible to online risk regardless of best-efforts employed, in-house expertise yada yada.

Allegedly the attacks were originating from Northern [...]

Microsoft TechEd 2009 is now a wrap! My session took home some pretty high scores and from the looks of the evaluations so far at least within the top 10 in the security, identity and access tracks, possibly top 5! By this time next year, I am hopeful that one of the key preventative online risk technologies [...]
Not that ASLR is a brand new thing, but this was the first time that I’ve had to go head on against a defensive mechanism like this and it almost gave me a heart attack. Bad news for the real bad-guys, good news for the rest of us. Bravo, nice work Microsoft! Here’s what happened …
