The Security Bulletin Search Page at
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/current.asp now includes a
search function that will let you view all of the security patches
available for a particular product according to the service packs
you've installed on your system. This feature is by far the most
frequently requested improvement we've received at
secfdck@microsoft.com, and we're pleased to be able to deliver it.
This is just the latest step in the campaign to simplify the process
of keeping systems secure, which we outlined in a recent security
essay (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/thrdwave.asp). The
technological underpinning for the new search tool will enable a
wealth of tools to be built that will make it easy to determine which
patches you need, and to ensure that all of those patches are
installed. Look for several exciting new tools and features in the
near future that take advantage of this technology.
Details regarding the new search function, including planned
enhancements to future versions, are available via the
Frequently-Asked Questions page
(http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/srchfaq.asp) on the
Security Bulletin Search Page. Feedback regarding the new search
function may be sent to secfdbck@microsoft.com.=20
Regards,
Secure@Microsoft.com
