Microsoft corporate security product goes into public test.
Microsoft
‘s long-awaited corporate security suite,
Forefront Client Security
, has been released to public beta. The new product, combining the anti-virus and anti-spyware technologies acquired by
Microsoft
in recent years, is aimed at the business market and is expected to be competitively priced.
Two
Forefront
server-side products, based on
Sybari
‘s
Antigen
and integrating AV engines from several vendors, are already in beta, and volume-licence release has been scheduled for December. The beta of the client comes somewhat late, with the full release expected in June 2007 rather than the January of earlier predictions.
