Microsoft has implemented lots of useful functionality in Windows that they use in their own products. Many of these features can be used to enhance the security of third party applications, but not many developers or software architects know about them. This talk will detail some of the technical underpinnings of Windows features like UAC, IE protected mode and Terminal Serivces and show how they can be used to defend your own software from attack.
