MS security: EMET, ASA, Applocker

[Thor86]

Well, seems like they are starting get this more mainstream to provide sys admins and knowledgeable end-users to try and become more involved in system security.

Have anyone used these free products from Microsoft, and what were your results, comments and thoughts on them?

Wow, almost 150 views and no one has heard or used these?

No MS security gurus around? Wonder why so many end-users complain about MS product security, because they aren't knowledgable enough. (Stirring the pot)

There is a computer security guru here at Anandtech named Mechbgon

Check out this website of his where he discusses what you mentioned and other security topics.

Look up his posts in this forum, he really is a wealth of info.

AppLocker combined with limited user accounts isn't perfect, but it is plenty strong enough for current real-world scenarios.

Good stuff thanks for the information.

Anyone using ASA either personally or in real-world business?

I've been looking at an ASA after my CCIE buddy recommended one, although I'm sure he's biased cause of that. They seem to offer everything and the cost is reasonable too.
