Endpoint Security Administrator

It’s been a while Microsoft has been working on its Forefront products and they have been really successful in offering products that are of great help to increase the security of the network environment and systems both on the server-side and client-side.

I personally love them all and have more experience working with Forefront Threat Management Gateway 2010 and truly enjoyed all the better features it has in comparison with ISA Server 2006. When you have the experience of working with a product for quite a long time and wish for some added functionalities, once the new product is out and gives you all of them, that’s when you have a really good feeling. I guess Forefront products give you exactly the same kind of feeling.

Now Forefront Endpoint Protection 2012 Beta is out. Before we go a little bit further with the features, let me give you an overview on what it is. FEP helps businesses efficiently improve endpoint protection while decreasing the costs. It is built on System Center Configuration Manager allowing businesses to use their existing client management infrastructure to manage the endpoint protection. Right now this beta version is compatible with System Center Configuration Manager 2012.

But let’s see what’s new in this new beta release of FEP:

  • Supporting System Center Configuration Manager 2012
  • Improved real time alerts and reports
  • Role-based management
  • User-centric reports (post beta)
  • Easy migration from FEP 2010/ConfigMgr 2007
  • Support for FEP 2010 client agents
FEP 2012 provides protection against known and unknown threats using advanced techniques such as behavior monitoring, network inspection system and heuristics. It also has a real-time cloud-based update system through Spynet service helping it to stay up-to-date.

I hope you will be among the early adopters of FEP 2012.
Cheers
