Software testing and security expert James Whittaker has joined Microsoft's Security Technology Unit as a security 
architect, a company representative said Monday. Whittaker has co-authored several books on security and most recently 
was a professor of computer science at the Florida Institute of Technology.

"James will focus on internal education and training efforts, as part of the Security Development Lifecycle process," 
the Microsoft representative said. The SDL process at Microsoft aims to vet code before pushing out products. Michael 
Howard, one of Whittaker's new colleagues, welcomes him on his blog.
