A Simple Software Security Guy at Microsoft!
Matt Miller Joins the Security Science Team!

Good news! Matt Miller, author of plenty of cutting-edge security research, including my fave “A Brief History of Exploitation Techniques and Mitigations on Windows” has joined the Security Science team to work on improved ways to find security vulnerabilities and better software defenses through mitigations. Most recently, Matt’s been focused on design review for Windows 7.
 
Matt brings a massive amount of real-world exploit and defense experience to our team. Learn more about Matt here.

It’s wonderful to see us hiring more talent like Matt.
 
Welcome, Matt.
