This is a busy news day. There’s loads of stuff in my inbox and RSS feeds this morning.
I didn’t see any big announcements but last week, Microsoft released the first two of it’s Forefront branded products to manufacturing. The Forefront brand will be applied to all of Microsoft’s security products. The first products are Microsoft Forefront Security for Exchange Server and Microsoft Forefront Security for SharePoint. These are results of the Sybari acquisition a year or so ago. Microsoft Forefront Security for Exchange Server is the successor to Microsoft Antigen for Exchange which was only released late last Summer. Considering how short the beta program was, I’m doubting that much has changed … we probably just have added support for Exchange 2007. In fact, almost nothing had changed in the Microsoft Antigen release since the last Sybari Antigen release… mainly the Enterprise Console was replaced.
I’ll let you read the features of the Exchange and the Sharepoint products for yourself.
