Reliability and Security Through Threat Modeling and Testing. High-quality drivers for Windows operating systems must be both reliable and secure. A driver that is not secure is inherently not reliable, and a driver that is not reliable is inherently not secure. By addressing security and reliability throughout the product development cycle, you can create higher quality drivers, reduce support costs, and ensure a better user experience.
To address reliability and security, you must:
-
Stay current with Microsoft plans for trusted platforms.
-
Create threat models to discover potential security problems.
-
Understand the Windows Security Model, and use safe coding practices.
-
Look for common problems, and secure your test environment.
Driver Maintenance Through Windows Update. Windows Update extends inbox driver support. Online provisioning for driver updates ensures functionality after installation. The Windows Error Reporting (WER) system can route your customer to your company’s Web site. Learn more on the Dashborad Help.
