Microsoft To Release Updated EMET Security Tool
Microsoft announced today that it is planning to release a new version of its security mitigation tool for ISVs and Windows users.
Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) 2.0, when released in "upcoming weeks," will contain six mitigation protections, according to Microsoft's announcement. The mitigations block general techniques used by hackers that try to exploit vulnerabilities commonly found in software. Version 2.0 will be an update to the Enhanced Mitigation Evaluation Toolkit 1.0.2, which was announced in October.
For this new upcoming release, Microsoft plans to change the name of the tool slightly, dropping the word "evaluation" in the older toolkit name for "experience" in the new one.
