Forefront Security and Systems Center make a winning ensemble for Paul Smith
Paul Smith, a designer and retailer of clothing and luxury goods, wanted a client security solution that would be easier to manage. The current solution had to be maintained separately, which conflicted with the company goal of a more streamlined, integrated IT environment. To improve efficiency, Paul Smith chose a solution based on Microsoft Forefront Client Security. Although still in the early stages of implementation, the company reports that integration with familiar tools like Microsoft Systems Management Server and Operations Manager are simplifying management. The IT team has better control over client security through detailed reporting and more effective administration of software and virus definition updates. The company also plans to expand its security solution by deploying Microsoft Forefront Security for Exchange Server and Forefront Security for SharePoint.
