Microsoft Forefront Suite – Your Security Solution

Microsoft Corp has now also moved into the business security solutions market by unveiling its Forefront Suite of applications. The emergence of this new product represents a key component of the company’s proactive strategy to reduce criticism and condemnation from the IT security fraternity, especially Microsoft users.

Technically, an ideal security solution is required by Microsoft users in order for them to integrate this solution into their existing infrastructure and other Microsoft products. With this security solution, Microsoft as well as users hope it can overcome the growing challenges of widespread connectivity; the constant threat of worms, spam, viruses and other attacks; fragmented solutions and operational difficulties.

The Forefront products that are currently available in the Forefront suite include the following:

Microsoft Forefront Client Security
