Microsoft gets security!
Continuing its security onslaught, Microsoft earlier this week announced ‘Stirling’, a new, holistic (my words) security platform for businesses.
This wholly integrated suite will contain the following products:
Forefront Client Security
Forefront for Exchange
Forefront for SharePoint
Forefront Server Management
Microsoft Antigen anti-virus
Internet Security and Acceleration Server (ISA Server)
Intelligent Application Gateway
Windows Live OneCare desktop protection
For the enterprise, this product will be a boon to IT managers, as it will allow for a common UI for control of all elements of a network’s security. It will also tie in to Microsoft’s management offerings, and as an added bonus, allow third-party applications to be integrated as well.
If this product platform is properly integrated, and reasonably priced, I believe it will be another win-win for Microsoft Partners, IT managers, developers, and users.
With all of Microsoft’s moves in security, I cannot understand why Microsoft still gets diss’ed by some hacks.
