Microsoft’s EMET v 4.1 Released … in case you missed it

Quick post.

Microsoft quietly released an update to their Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit back in November 2013.

• Introducing Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) 4.1 - Security Research & Defense - TechNet
• Microsoft updates the Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit - Help Net Security
• Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit - EMET - TechNet Security
• Download EMET 4.1 (Recommended) - Microsoft Download

I run this free enhanced security tool on all our personal Windows systems and recommend and install it on friends and family members’ systems who ask as well.

• EMET 3.5: The Value of Looking Through an Attacker's Eyes - ISC Diary - This was a fascinating post about the Microsoft Enhanced Mitigation Experience 3.5 toolkit and how it can leverage additional anti-malware protection on systems. I’m not sure a site-wide deployment would make a lot of sense, but for workbench systems and testing it might be a smart move to consider.
