    PART I Critical Vulnerabilities

    PART I Critical Vulnerabilities Part I for this issue has been compiled by Josh Bronson at TippingPoint, a division of HP, as a by-product of that company's continuous effort to ensure that its intrusion prevention products effectively block exploits using known vulnerabilities. TippingPoint's analysis is complemented by input from a council of security managers from twelve large organizations who confidentially share with SANS the specific actions they have taken to protect their systems. A detailed description of the process may be found at http://www.sans.org/newsletters/risk/#process
