Microsoft Unveils New Management and Security Tools

Microsoft on Wednesday unveiled a range of new infrastructure management and security tools designed to help businesses more efficiently control their IT assets while fending off viruses, malware, and other cyberthreats.  The company’s new Forefront Client Security software is designed to warn IT security managers about emerging threats and vulnerabilities through a central management interface that integrates with System Center solutions, Active Directory directory services, and other Microsoft technologies.

The software is designed to simplify and automate a broad set of tasks through a single console from which IT managers can view and maintain servers, clients, hardware and software.

The product is available for purchase as of Wednesday as part of the Microsoft Enterprise Client Access License suite via Microsoft Volume Licensing, with stand-alone product availability in July through standard Microsoft volume licensing channels.
