Founded in 2003, the VIA stands as an effective forum for sharing
technical information about viruses and worms that affect Microsoft
products and customers. Members of the VIA continually exchange
valuable technical information on newly discovered viruses so that
Microsoft can more quickly communicate to customers their targets,
impact and methods of remediation. "Aladdin is pleased to work with
Microsoft as a member of this valuable alliance, as our Content
Security Response Team will be actively participating in the
sharing of information regarding the propagation and impact of
viruses," said Shimon Gruper, vice president of technologies for
the Aladdin eSafe Business Unit. "Through membership in the VIA,
Aladdin takes another significant step in assisting the public as
fast and as accurately as possible when an outbreak occurs."
"Microsoft is pleased to work with Aladdin and all the VIA members
to provide customers with the information they need to help protect
themselves from malicious threats. Security is an industry wide
issue, and Microsoft is committed to continuing to work closely
with industry partners toward the common goal of improving security
for all computer users," said Stephen Toulouse, security program
manager of the Security Response Center at Microsoft Corp. About
