What is the big deal about Microsoft Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit?

Microsoft Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit is a toolkit for deploying and configuring security mitigation technologies. The enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) is designed to help prevent hackers from gaining access to your system. Software vulnerabilities and exploits have become an everyday part of life.

Virtually every product has to deal with them and consequently, users are faced with a stream of security updates. For users who get attacked before the latest updates have been applied or who get attacked before an update is even available, the results can be devastating: malware, loss of PII, and many more.

The truth is we all have to deal with problems being created by all these malicious programs; and the best time to do that is now. With Microsoft Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit, that can be taken care of fast. It should be seen as an extra layer of security because that is exactly what it is. It is an essential.

While these Alpha 2 images have been tested and work, except as noted in the release notes, Ubuntu developers are continuing to improve the Utopic Unicorn.

Ubuntu is a Linux distribution that starts with the breadth of Debian and adds regular releases (every six months), a clear focus on the user and usability (it should “Just Work”, TM) and a commitment to security updates with 18 months of support for every release. Ubuntu ships with the latest Gnome release as well as a selection of server and desktop software that makes for a comfortable desktop experience off a single installation CD.

Alpha 2 includes a number of software updates that are ready for wider testing. This is quite an early set of images, so you should expect some bugs.

Of a particular note, once newer daily images are available, system installation bugs identified in the Alpha 2 installer should be verified against the current daily image before being reported in Launchpad. Using an obsolete image to re-report bugs that have already been fixed wastes your time and the time of developers who are busy trying to make 14.10 the best Ubuntu release yet. Please ensure your system is up to date before reporting bugs.
