The benefits of deploying Microsoft technologies for Secure Collaboration can be best viewed through three core principles:

  • Help Protect Virtually Everywhere and Access Virtually Anywhere

    • Help protect SharePoint documents with multiple best-in-class anti-malware engines.

    • Automatically secure sensitive documents through built-in information protection.

    • Access content more securely from virtually any location or virtually any device.

  • Integrate and Extend Security Across the Enterprise

    • Help prevent information leakage through deep SharePoint and Office integration.

    • Collaborate more securely with partners by sharing identities through standards-based interoperability.

  • Simplify the Security Experience and Manage Compliance

    • Help drive compliance with enterprise-wide visibility into emerging threats through management packs and monitoring in System Center Operations Manager (SCOM), and depth reporting via SQL Server Reporting Services.

    • Enable collaboration with partners more easily through administrative tools and wizards for flexible claims-based federation, eliminating the need to manage external accounts.
