Steve Riley Explores: Windows Vista System Integrity Technologies

For most of the history of computing, operating systems have lived in their own little bubbles of trust. Every part of an operating system pretty much assumed that every other part was exactly what it claimed to be and performed only what it claimed it could do. Recent attacks, though, have shown that such implicit trust is no longer suitable for computers that connect to hostile environments. In this session, Steve Riley explores how these technologies work to thwart malware's attempts to take over your computer. Check it out on It's Showtime.
