The Microsoft Active Protections Program (MAPP) is a program for security software providers.
Members of MAPP receive security vulnerability information from the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) in advance of Microsoft’s monthly security update. By sharing vulnerability information prior to the public release of a security update, Microsoft enables security software providers who operate at the application and network layer to offer protection to our mutual customers in a timely manner.
This means, Astaro as a MAPP partner receives vulnerability information earlier. We can provide updated patterns for our Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) at the same moment as Microsoft releases their patches. Before the launch of MAPP, security software providers had to wait until the public release of a security update before building protections.
