Security Solutions
Security is your most critical IT challenge. Viruses and malicious attacks can lead to loss of data or system outages. And as your workforce becomes more mobile, the possibility of stolen laptops--and data--increases.
Microsoft delivers an integrated approach to security across physical and virtual environments. Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V helps provide complete isolation between virtual machines and enables defense-in-depth against malware attacks. Windows Authorization Manager allows administrators to provide role-based access control to resources, plus reduce errors due to mis-configurations. Microsoft Forefront security products help protect against malware and spyware for server, client, messaging, and collaboration systems. Microsoft System Center products enable patching and configuration to help keep systems updated. Also, to help secure desktops, Microsoft provides solutions for Windows-Optimized Desktop Scenarios that provide balance between centralized control and user flexibility.
For virtual environments, the Microsoft Solution Accelerator: Offline Virtual Machine Servicing Tool and partner solutions enable offline virtual images to be updated with critical patches and virus scans.
In summary, Microsoft Security Solutions are designed to provide these key benefits:
Cost savings, improved service levels, and enhanced agility
Protection from loss of confidential data
Protection from system outages
