The Case for Forefront

Today Enterprise Networking World posted a thorough overview of the Microsoft edge, client and server security solutions.  A few excerpts:

Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2006 and Microsoft Intelligent Application Gateway (IAG) 2007 provide enhanced network edge protection and application-centric, policy-based access to corporate IT infrastructure.
