Product DescriptionThe Microsoft Forefront family of business security products help provide greater protection and control over the security of your organisation’s network infrastructure. Microsoft Forefront products easily integrate with each other, with the organisation’s IT infrastructure, and can be supplemented through interoperable third-party solutions, enabling end-to-end, defence-in-depth security solutions. Simplified management, reporting, analysis and deployment enable more efficient protection of information resources as well as more secure access to applications and servers. Microsoft developed the Forefront family of business security products to address the challenges of widespread connectivity, evolving threats, fragmented solutions and operational difficulties. We believe that in order to address these challenges, any properly constituted security solutions must be comprehensive, integrated and simplified. These are the tenets around which all Forefront security products are designed.
