Security
Over the years, there have been many security vulnerabilities in Microsoft's implementation of the protocol or components that it directly relies on, with the most recent vulnerability (at time of writing) involving the SMB2 implementation. Other vendors' security vulnerabilities lie primary in a lack of support for newer authentication protocols like NTLMv2 and Kerberos in preference to broken protocols like NTLMv1, LanMan, or even plaintext passwords.

Famous quotes containing the word security:
“Our security depends on the Allied Powers winning against aggressors. The Axis Powers intend to destroy democracy, it is anathema to them. We cannot provide that aid if the public are against it; therefore, it is our responsibility to persuade the public that aid to the victims of aggression is aid to American security. I expect the members of my administration to take every opportunity to speak to this issue wherever they are invited to address public forums in the weeks ahead.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“Those words freedom and opportunity do not mean a license to climb upwards by pushing other people down. Any paternalistic system that tries to provide for security for everyone from above only calls for an impossible task and a regimentation utterly uncongenial to the spirit of our people.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“The reins of government have been so long slackened, that I fear the people will not quietly submit to those restraints which are necessary for the peace and security of the community.”
—Abigail Adams (1744–1818)
