Energize IT: Rocking the House with Forefront Client Security!

When Rick and Rodney first approached me to participate at Energize IT I wasn't sure what I would present, but when they asked me to lead one of the Hands On Labs I thought it was a great chance for me to interact with a group of my peers.

There are three HOL tracks at Energize IT today - Garth Jones is leading System Center Configuration Manager, Kim Franks is leading System Center Operations Manager, which left Forefront Client Security to me.  I am excited about this product because it really is a comprehensive solution to fight virii and malware.  I have been working with these labs for the past couple of weeks and have seen the power of FCS firsthand.

Malware has become a real threat to our systems over the past few years, and it is a relief to have a product that addresses both malware and virii in a single package... and having the flexibility with a single package to administer either locally or centrally really makes a big difference.

If you are not at Energize IT I suggest you check it out at http://www.microsoft.com/forefront/default.mspx and see why I am so excited about this new product.  You'll be excited too!
