SECURITY SOLUTIONS
--Secure Your Exchange Server
by Brien Posey
When Microsoft originally created the Security Configuration Wizard
(SCW) as part of Windows Server 2003 SP1, it was intended primarily as a
utility for helping network administrators to secure Windows. Even so,
the wizard benefited Exchange Server administrators, because Exchange
depends on Windows. After all, if Windows isn't secure, then Exchange
won't be secure either.
When Microsoft created Exchange Server 2007, the company included a
couple of XML files that can be used to extend the SCW. These files let
Exchange administrators use the SCW to secure Exchange, not just
Windows.

--SECURITY MATTERS BLOG: New Perspective on SSL Certs
by Mark Joseph Edwards
Browsers are getting rather tough on sites that either use self-signed
certificates or have expired certificates. A new certificate validation
technique might help restore a bit of confidence that an attack isn't
