Executive Summary:
|
Microsoft Forefront Security for Exchange Server (formerly known as Microsoft Antigen) is designed to overcome the limitations of any single vendor’s email server antivirus product by letting you run up to five antivirus engines simultaneously to better detect and catch threats in email messages. See how to install, set up, and manage Forefront for Exchange on Exchange Server 2007 servers that host mailboxes. |
Antivirus products for email servers such as Microsoft Exchange Server try to catch threats at the email server, before users can receive the messages, open their attachments, and unwittingly launch their payloads. While server antivirus products are reasonably good at scanning incoming email messages, they suffer from a common problem: They require constant updates of their scanning engines and signature databases to come close to catching all threats. Microsoft Forefront Security for Exchange Server (formerly known as Microsoft Antigen) is designed to overcome the limitations of any single vendor’s offering by using multiple antivirus engines developed by various vendors. Forefront for Exchange lets you run up to five of these engines simultaneously to better detect and catch threats in email messages. . . .
