Microsoft Forefront Client Security provides unified malware protection for business desktops, laptops and server operating systems that is easy to manage and control. Built on the same highly successful Microsoft protection technology already used by millions of people worldwide, Forefront Client Security helps guard against emerging threats such as spyware and rootkits, as well as traditional threats such as viruses, worms, and Trojan horses. By delivering simplified administration through central management and providing critical visibility into threats and vulnerabilities, Forefront Client Security helps you protect your business with confidence and efficiency. Forefront Client Security integrates with your existing infrastructure software, such as Active Directory , and complements other Microsoft security technologies for enhanced protection and greater control. Forefront Client Security is currently in public beta and can be downloaded from the Microsoft Forefront Client Security Web site.
There are two parts to the Microsoft Forefront Client Security solution. The first is the Security Agent—installed on business desktops, laptops and server operating systems—that provides real-time protection from and scheduled scanning for threats such as spyware, viruses, and rootkits. The second is the central management server, which enables administrators to easily manage and update preconfigured or customized malware protection agents and generate reports and alerts about the security status of their environment.
Customers will be able to purchase Forefront Client Security through the Microsoft Volume Licensing programs. In addition, Forefront Client Security will be included in the upcoming Forefront Security Suite. Forefront Client Security is also a component of the Enterprise Client Access License (CAL). Forefront Client Security will be available under subscription licensing and will be competitively priced. Further pricing and licensing information will be announced at a later date.
