Forefront Security for SharePoint
Protection and control for collaboration servers
Help protect Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 deployments from malicious code, confidential information, and inappropriate content.
Our customers are rapidly adopting SharePoint products and technologies as an important tool for conducting business and getting closer to customers, prospects, and business partners. Unfortunately, malicious code, inappropriate content, and confidential information can find their way onto SharePoint servers through uploaded documents, HTML pages, and mapped network drives.
Although nearly 97 percent of businesses used antivirus software, 65 percent of them still suffered virus attacks. One reason is that companies try to protect collaboration servers using software that has only one antivirus scan engine, which exposes the system to a potential single point of failure. If the engine fails to recognize a new threat quickly, organizations are immediately vulnerable. Secondly, most standard file-server antivirus products can’t adequately scan the SQL databases of SharePoint document libraries without risking damage to the software, the database, or the SharePoint environment. Neither do these products scan the content of documents to ensure that the files support company policies before they are posted on SharePoint servers.
IT must find ways to easily manage the content and security of information that’s stored and shared using SharePoint servers. At the same time, you must minimize costs, maximize business productivity, and protect corporate information and interests. Microsoft Forefront Security for SharePoint integrates multiple scan engines from industry-leading vendors and content controls to help businesses protect their Microsoft SharePoint collaboration environments by eliminating documents containing malicious code, confidential information, and inappropriate content. The new Forefront Security for SharePoint with SP2 provides support for Windows Server 2008 and includes installable keyword lists in 11 languages for automatically blocking documents containing profanity and discriminatory content.
