Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway is a comprehensive secure Web gateway that helps protect Web-using employees from threats on the Web with an enterprise-class Web proxy and anti-malware functionality. Forefront TMG helps ensure that encrypted Web sessions (SSL) are protected from threats. It also delivers simple, unified perimeter security to protect networks from attack by providing an integrated application and network-layer firewall, intrusion prevention, VPN connectivity, and management of e-mail security. It enables you to easily maximize existing information technology (IT) investments by improving network security and performance. The newly added protection technologies will help you inspect e-mail traffic for spam and malware and enforce content policy compliance in your organization. Furthermore, Forefront TMG protects the organization from zero-day-attacks, and inspects outbound HTTP and HTTPS traffic to improve Internet security for your organization.

Forefront TMG Beta 2 can help you:

• Protect users from Web browsing threats (Secure Web Gateway)

• Control network Access at the edge (Firewall)

• Protect users from e-mail threats (E-mail Protection)

• Protect desktops and servers from intrusion attempts (Network Inspection System, Security Assessment Sharing)

• Enable users to remotely access corporate resources (VPN, Secure Web Publishing)

• Simplify management and deployment

• Integrate with the Forefront Security Suite (codename Stirling) to provide a unified security solution for protecting all of the assets in your organization

Note: Connecting Forefront TMG to a Stirling Server is supported only with the public Beta 2 of Forefront Codenamed Stirling

TechNet Webcast: Designing Microsoft Systems Center Data Protection Manager 2007 for Branch Environments (Level 300)

Wednesday, April 08, 2009 8:00 AM Pacific Time (US & Canada)

Designing Data Protection Manager 2007 (DPM) for Branch Environments highlights two different scenarios within a typical enterprise branch environment. In addition it will highlight new branch-specific features within DPM 2007 SP1. Demo's will be used wherever possible to further illustrate key objectives. The first branch scenario will discuss in depth how to design DPM 2007 for use across WAN links to either centralized or regionalized datacenters. While the second scenario focuses on locating a DPM 2007 server at the branch server. Lastly, attention will be given to DPM's rarely discussed unattended setup option to assist in automated deployments of DPM servers across the enterprise.

Wednesday, April 15, 2009 1:00 PM Pacific Time (US & Canada)

System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2007 with Service Pack 1 has three ways to help you achieve your disaster recovery goals.

DPM can replicate its data from one DPM server to another, something we call ‘DPM2DPM4DR’

DPM data onsite can be protected to the cloud using Iron Mountain’s CloudRecovery™ service for off-site vaulting with one of the world’s most trusted data retention companies

DPM can be used alongside VMM and Hyper-V to provide site-level redundancy.

In this session, we’ll walk through these capabilities, do several demonstrations, and discuss how to get started with each of these approaches.
