Microsoft Forefront Endpoint Protection is powerful solution for securing your working environment.

The benefits of deploying Microsoft technologies for Endpoint Security can be best viewed through three core principles:
Help Protect Virtually Everywhere and Access Virtually Anywhere
1. Help protect operating systems from malware and Web-based threats.
2. Help secure sensitive data on endpoints with comprehensive information protection.
3. Help provide seamless, secure access to infrastructure from virtually any location or virtually any device.

Integrate and Extend Security Across the Enterprise
1. Extend native security features built into Windows to provide comprehensive security.
2. Leverage investments in existing infrastructure.

Simplify the Security Experience and Manage Compliance
1. Simplify management with a single console for client security administration.
2. Enable compliance with enterprise-wide client visibility and reporting.

Microsoft Forefront has combined essential capabilities to provide an integrated solution that helps secure corporate endpoints. The Secure Endpoint solution helps protect client and server operating systems from emerging threats and information
loss, while enabling more secure access from virtually anywhere. Through multilayered and defense-in-depth security, this solution helps defend infrastructure from malware and advanced Web-based threats, whether clients are on or off premises,
and connected locally or remotely.

The Secure Endpoint solution is part of Microsoft's Business Ready Security approach, which focuses on the principle that security is a means to a business end. Microsoft offers security solutions that help companies manage risks and empower people with
access to the information they need to get their jobs done.

The Secure Endpoint solution helps defend endpoints in real time against advanced and emerging threats. It addresses strategic security concerns-including encryption and authentication-and enables persistent confidentiality and integrity of information in transit and at rest.
1. Microsoft Forefront Client Security provides real-time endpoint protection against advanced threats and attacks with an integrated anti-virus/anti-spyware engine.
2. Forefront Threat Management Gateway (TMG) protects managed and unmanaged endpoints from Web-based threats and improves security enforcement by integrating multiple detection technologies such as URL filtering, antimalware, intrusion prevention, and more.
3. Microsoft Windows BitLocker and BitLocker To Go protect data stored on portable or removable media to prevent threats of data theft or disclosure from lost, stolen, or inappropriately decommissioned PC hardware.
4. Windows DirectAccess and Forefront Unified Access Gateway help increase employees' productivity by providing always-on and secure access to data and applications.
5. Examine destination URLs for adherence with corporate policy, as well as for the malicious potential of a destination Web site, through Microsoft Reputation Services for URL filtering in Forefront TMG

The Secure Endpoint solution integrates with existing infrastructure, helping enterprises save security costs and protect corporate endpoints on the local network, at other organizations, or on the road.
1. Active Directory Rights Management Services integrates with Microsoft Office to automatically safeguard sensitive information while providing alerts to users regarding policy compliance
2. Forefront Client Security and Forefront TMG integrate with Active Directory to help organizations deploy identity-based security policies.
3. Forefront Client Security integrates with Windows Server Network Access
4. Protection to allow administrators to define policies for system health and drive compliance-based access.
5. Using existing investments such as System Center and Microsoft Windows Server
6. Update Services, organizations can save time and resources by discovering and remotely deploying protection technologies such as updates and reporting.

The Secure Endpoint solution helps ensure regulatory compliance and simplifies security management tasks through a centralized control that provides enterprise-wide visibility and reporting of endpoint security threats and status.
1. The Forefront Client Security Enterprise Manager (FCS EM) simplifies endpoint security management with a centralized console for all administrative functions, including configuration, reporting, and alerting.
2. FCS EM also provides a single dashboard for enterprise-wide client visibility and a complete view of threats, vulnerabilities and configuration risks to enable compliance.
3. Forefront TMG's console provides a single point of management, policy, and monitoring for consolidated web security across the organization.
