    Continuous improvements have been made to Windows and other Microsoft products over the past decade that have made it more difficult and costly to exploit software vulnerabilities. The various mitigation technologies that have been created as a result have played a key role in helping to keep people safe online even as the number of vulnerabilities that are found and fixed each year has increased. In this presentation, we'll describe some of the new ways that Microsoft is tackling software security and some of the new mitigation improvements that have been made to Windows 10 as a result. This talk will cover a new data driven approach to software security at Microsoft. This approach involves proactive monitoring and analysis of exploits found in-the-wild to better understand the types of vulnerabilities that are being exploited and exploitation techniques being used. This category of analysis and insight has driven a series of mitigation improvements that has broken widely used exploitation techniques and in some cases virtually eliminated entire classes of vulnerabilities.
