InternetNews | at | by Mike
Microsoft on Tuesday began publicly beta testing its family of next-generation security tools.
Codenamed "Stirling," the package will include upcoming versions of the company's Forefront-branded Client Security, Server Security, Edge Security, and Access products along with a unified management console. The company also said that Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server will be renamed to Forefront Threat Management Gateway.
The bundle entered private beta testing last year, after being introduced at Microsoft's Tech Ed 2008 conference in early June. The finished commercial release of Stirling is slated for sometime in the first half of 2009.
