Microsoft on Wednesday launched a major security initiative intended to address concerns that its software is prone to security problems and virus attacks. The world's largest software maker is looking to allay fears over ongoing security problems and recent worm attacks from Nimda and Code Red, which have led experts to warn that the company's Internet Information Server Web server software is not secure enough for customers. On Tuesday, Microsoft contacted about 1,000 of its largest customers to outline its program, called the Strategic Technology Protection Program, and address their concerns about recent worm attacks, said analysts and sources close to the company. STPP is supposed to deliver corporations short-term and long-term tools for combating recent devastating virus attacks and preventing future outbreaks. Analysts warn that the damage to the credibility of some Microsoft products may be hard to repair and may cast a shadow over the company's impending move into Web services, with its .Net and .Net My Services initiatives.

CHAIRMAN and Chief Executive Officer Larry Ellison has called for a national identification (ID) card to be issued to all U.S. citizens in an effort to help prevent future terrorist attacks. To help build such a system, Ellison has reportedly offered to give the necessary software to the U.S. government for free. In an interview with a San Francisco television station, KPIX, broadcast on Friday, Ellison said the U.S. government should issue a national ID card that contains a photograph and digitized thumbprint for each U.S. citizen, according to a transcript of the interview. When presented to airport security officials, the information contained in the ID cards would be verified with information stored on a centralized database, insuring the accurate identification of airline passengers, Ellison said, according to the San Jose Mercury News newspaper.
