| I'm back from RSA Conference 2010, held in San Francisco last week. Microsoft was a Global Diamond Sponsor of the event where Scott Charney, the Corporate Vice President of Trustworthy Computing at Microsoft, delivered a keynote. Scott's keynote focused on the vision Microsoft has for a safer, more trusted Internet called "End to End Trust." You can watch Scott's RSA keynote by visiting the End to End Trust Web site. An important element of the End to End Trust vision is the concept of privacy. Privacy encompasses many different issues and can mean different things to each of us. Keeping yourself and your family safe online from scams that could lead to identity theft is a form of privacy. IT professionals may think of privacy in terms of keeping their organization's customer data confidential and safe from data breaches. Governments may think about privacy as it relates to the cloud and providing services to their citizens. However you think about privacy, Microsoft has resources for you. To learn more about privacy and access some of the content Microsoft has to offer, please visit www.microsoft.com/privacy and consult the tools and resources outlined below. Best regards, Tim Rains, Group Product Manager, Microsoft Trustworthy Computing
