Microsoft To Unveil New Security Tools

Microsoft is expected to unveil its new security software package next week in San Francisco. Code-named Stirling, it will address issues on the enterprise level, giving administrators the tools they need to defend their networks.

“Stirling will touch many different areas of network protection, server protection and client protection,” said Ronald Beekelaar, an independent IT consultant based in Amsterdam, who is familiar with the Forefront products. “So Microsoft has to coordinate that between different products. But that also means that beta testers should really look at Stirling at all those levels, and not just test the client protection, or only the firewall protection,” he wrote in an e-mail interview.

Stirling is designed to be integrated with other Microsoft products, giving it the advantage of cohesively functioning with software such as Internet Explorer, MSN and the Office suite. IBM and storage vendor EMC are also expected to unveil their security options in the conference.
