Microsoft Sets Unified Security Strategy with ‘Stirling’
Microsoft officials have outlined plans for a unified security product they say will allow users to centrally manage security across an entire IT infrastructure from a single console. Code-named Stirling, the product is designed to enable IT managers to centrally set policy, configure, deploy and manage security within their IT environments. When it is officially released—-Microsoft officials have mentioned 2009 as a general release date, with the beta version to be available later in 2007—-it will include the next-generation versions of the Forefront Client Security, Server Security, and Edge Security and Access solutions, plus a unified management console.
“What we consistently hear from customers is that they have a lot of pains ... and a lot of problems that are not currently addressed by business security products that are out there on the market,” Brown said.
