Jesper Johansson,微软高级安全顾问今日离开了微软公司,Johansson是雷特蒙德的老员工,服务于微软多年,从事微软安全工作领袖人物近5年,目前他已经前往位于西雅图的亚马逊Amazon.com总部,他将成为亚马逊的首席安全规划经理.Johansson 是LUA (最小权限用户) 的积极倡导者,LUA就是之后Windows Vista UAC的概念模型.
从设计到制作,Johansson都倾尽了全力,上次劝说Beta测试用户不要停止使用User Account Control功能,以带给微软更多信息的信函也是他亲笔所写.
Johansson 给企业带去了提倡使用安全密码的见解.
上次的WMF Zero-day攻击事件大家应该还记忆犹新,Johansson首先提供了对当时unofficial patches的合理化建议并且在全世界范围内宣讲微软产品的安全配置.
作为世界上有名的安全专家,他也有着不少著作,例如《Protect Your Windows Network》成为了微软系统/网络/安全管理员的标准安全教材.
在Microsoft的工作之余, Johansson 还是波士顿大学信息系统学院的客座教授,也有着不少脍炙人口的著作.
"The sands of time seem finally to have run their course," Johansson 这样在自己的blog中写道. "This was a very difficult decision for me and has taken a long time to make. All in all, I have had a great five years to look back at. So much has changed in security at the company since I came here. It has been a remarkable ride to see the turn-around and having been able to play part of if for this long."
