Integrate and extend security

Microsoft Identity and Security solutions and the Forefront product line help provide seamless protection of your IT systems through integration with the Windows platform, applications, and infrastructure. The Identity and Security platform supports heterogeneous environments, enabling 3rd party partners to share and utilize capabilities to help deliver greater value across the organization.

  • Windows Identity Foundation helps .NET developers build claims-aware applications that externalize user authentication from the application, improving developer productivity, enhancing application security, and enabling interoperability.

  • Active Directory Federation Services 2.0 (formerly known as "Geneva" Server) is a security token service for IT that issues and transforms claims and other tokens, manages user access and enables federation and access management for simplified single sign-on.

  • Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) helps you augment an organization’s security strategy by protecting information through persistent usage policies, which remain with the information no matter where it is moved.

  • Together these technologies help enterprises more efficiently deploy and manage new applications, establish a consistent security model to consolidate access management, and facilitate easy collaboration between organizations.
