Over the years, our customers have come to expect a certain regularity and transparency in both our security updates and the guidance that goes with them. One regular piece of communication about our work is a yearly progress report, which provides a look into the program updates and bulletin statistics from the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC). Our report covering July 2012 through June 2013 is available, and it provides a great look back over the past year and includes some exciting new program updates that will help enhance customer protections in the years to come.

New MAPP Initiatives

BlueHat1

Hi everyone,

Some of you may recall the launch of the Microsoft Active Protections Program (MAPP) back in 2008, when we began giving antivirus vendors security bulletin information early, so that they could develop and test signatures for vulnerabilities and be ready to release them when our bulletins were published. MAPP was our answer to a common phrase used back then: “Update Tuesday, exploit Wednesday.” This was a time when exploit writers had developed full automation for reverse engineering our security updates and building exploits. Security vendors received information at the same time as everyone else and had to then develop and test signatures before applying the updates. MAPP gave the security vendors, the “good guys,” a head start against the “bad guys.” In the years since its inception, MAPP has been successful in allowing these vendors to release protections when we release the updates so that our customers have the time they need to test and deploy them.

Thanks for posting Ronjor.
The MAPP Scanner initiative seems most interesting from my pov. (not being a vendor/responder) and given the devs backgrounds.
