Well, just when Microsoft has released Vista to the general public, touting it's security, their Office product suite is so full of security holes it resembles Swiss Cheese. Today, Symantec has announced yet another zero day security flaw for Word. That brings the number of high risk security flaws in Word to FIVE!
This means that since December, enterprises using Word (which is most of the planet's enterprises) are wide open to malware attacks from opening an infected Word document. There has been no patch issued for the first three discovered in early December.
HAVE A LAYERED IDENTITY DEFENSE. USE STRONG AUTHENTICATION. Don't trust Microsoft to protect your enterprise, regardless of their marketing spiels. At five strikes in Word, they should be off the team.
