This product from Microsoft is a part of it’s Business Ready Security strategy. Forefront Protection for Exchange (FPE) offers multiple anti-malware engines for 38 times faster detection than single ordinary engine solutions, and 99% guaranteed spam protection with only one in 250,000 spam false positives. Customers also have the choice of using the hosted Forefront Online Protection for Exchange service, or both offerings together for defense-in-depth.
Like all other Forefront solutions, FPE is designed to help business firms balance the needs of business with security requirements. Since, email is an extremely critical application, and it presents challenges to both business people and IT managers hence, employees (and non-employees) of an organisation needs secure access to messaging and documents from anywhere, as well as a spam-free inbox and protection from malware. On the other hand, IT must manage multiple sites and devices, ensure information protection and compliance, and sweep off financially-motivated threats. Hence, FPE is a great option for the perspective IT managers to deploy.
Combined with Exchange 2010 and other Microsoft identity and security technologies, FPE is part of Microsoft’s comprehensive solution for secure messaging.
