A 'Stirling' release for Microsoft
ENT News | at | by Mike
Security encompasses many aspects of an IT infrastructure, from clients to servers to edge protection to remote protection. It can involve numerous products and technologies spread all over an enterprise, becoming more and more unwieldy over time.
Microsoft has done its part to contribute to security sprawl by releasing no fewer than 10 new security and access products in the last year, under the umbrella designation of the product code-named "Stirling."
To bring all those disparate security elements together and make them manageable from one interface is the goal of the Forefront Server Security Management Console. At its TechEd conference in Orlando Monday, Microsoft announced the beta 2 release of the Stirling management piece.
