Abstract:
The disciplines of system management and security can be considered two sides of the same IT coin when it comes to endpoints. System management ensures that systems are configured, patched, and operating correctly, and security keeps threats and vulnerabilities from compromising the system. The upcoming release of Microsoft Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010 is built on Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager to deliver high levels of protection and productivity. Join this webcast to get an overview of what you can expect from this convergence of security and management.
