ForeFront: End-to-End Security for the Entire Network
Microsoft ForeFront helps you control the borders of your network.
ForeFront is a suite of business security products, designed to cover every aspect of network infrastructure. Server operations, client PCs, gateways, network edge—everything’s protected.
Against what? Unwanted files. Viruses. Phishing attempts. Even inappropriate content. Everything that could compromise the security of your operations. Or your data.
ForeFront includes:
- ForeFront Security for Exchange Server
- ForeFront Security for SharePoint
- ForeFront Client Security (FCS) – Malware protection for every client PC.
- Intelligent Application Gateway (IAG) – Remotely-connecting PCs must verify their compliance before gaining server access.
- Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2006 – Manages security for VPN connections and remotely-accessed applications.
Why (and When) You’d Want ForeFront
- When building a new network. Make sure it’s protected from the outset. It’s easiest to install network-wide protection when the network is new.
- Protect Exchange and MOSS 2007. Both servers deal with data coming and going. All day, every day. Cover them both with ForeFront Security for Exchange Server and ForeFront Security for SharePoint.
- Uniform Reporting. Instead of trying to piece together six reports from six different applications, you can read ForeFront reports. Collected from all components into one, so problems are quickly spotted.
- A wall against the next attack. Virus and malware attacks are becoming more creative. And sneakier. Since it’s designed to watch the edges of your network, ForeFront will catch new break-in attempts before they find an exploit.
Who’d Want It
- Companies Upgrading Their IT. This is a perfect time to install a new network-wide security package like ForeFront. Protect the new hardware and software.
- Growing Enterprises. The broader the network, the more security holes creep in. Patching 300 systems would take way too much time. Let ForeFront cover it all at once.
- Mid-Market Industries. Satellite offices, VPN, shared documents, protected data…ForeFront is badly needed if your company has this many security concerns!
- Public Companies or Companies Going Public. Public companies are highly susceptible to network attack, because of their publicly-known status.
ForeFront goes beyond an antivirus on a desktop. It’s an entire web of security spread out through all network systems, covering all access points in and out.
