"The tool, called Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) works by applying security mitigation technologies to arbitrary applications to block against exploitation through common attack vectors."
Wow! That sounds like it came right out of a manual or off a spec sheet. Explain, you mean it blocks ports, logs activity on, and restricts file permissions for third party and legacy Microsoft products to hopefully prevent them from being vulnerable without completely keeping them from running? ...or is there some other magical process involved. I realize there are a lot of hack MCSE's out there that need a nice wizard to do their job. But this sounds like big words for something most of us do already. It would be a lot easier if they didn't hide behind the business jargon.
