Microsoft Forefront Aims to Integrate Security
By offering a single family of security wares for each area of the enterprise — client, server and edge — Microsoft hopes to bolster enterprise security by reducing the cost and complexity of managing those tools. While none of the Forefront tools can secure non-Microsoft environments or be considered “best of breed,” they’re all contenders. The important thing is that they’re all Microsoft, which means they work together, easily integrate with Windows environments, offer similar and easy-to-use management interfaces, and are easy to deploy and maintain.
