Pioneers of the Security Principle Behind Windows Vista Available to Discuss Why Vista Will Benefit Consumers More than Businesses

The creators of the first product to enable Least Privilege security in Windows – the security principle behind Microsoft Vista’s User Account Control (UAC) – are available to discuss why Vista will benefit consumers more than businesses. Improving security is a driving force behind Vista, which will be released to consumers on Jan. 30.

BeyondTrust CEO John Moyer and CTO Marco Peretti two years ago created Privilege Manager, the first product to enable Least Privilege in a Windows environment. That same principle is the basis for Vista’s UAC security component. Least Privilege limits the damage that can be caused from a security breach or malicious user by restricting users to the access privileges necessary to do their jobs.

Moyer and Peretti are available for immediate comment. They can talk about Vista’s new security features, including why Vista will benefit consumers more than businesses.

Moyer co-founded DesktopStandard, a developer of desktop management products for businesses, which Microsoft bought in October 2006. Peretti founded SecureWave, an endpoint security software developer, and NeoValens S.A., a Windows security provider.
