Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange (FPE) Anti-Spam

David Tesar — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 01:02:00 GMT

Alexander Nikolayev, program manager for FPE, walks us through how all of the anti-spam features work, including the new functionality with FPE over the previous version. After a couple minutes we dive right into the whiteboard walking through the mail flow anti-spam features with connection, protocol, and content filtering.

Since this is a longer interview, here’s how it breaks down. Markers are the round circles in the Silverlight player progress bar.

[5:20 / Marker 1] - How the DNS Block list (DNSBL) feature works, exceptions of when it doesn’t apply, how you know a message was blocked by DNSBL, areas where our DNSBL is better than competitors’ solutions.

[13:47 / Marker 2] – How SMTP filtering works

[19:00 / Marker 3] – How Sender ID filtering works

[21:32 / Marker 4] – Cloudmark engine (content filtering) and performance results with MSIT, frequency of updates with engine, how it is different than competitors’ solutions.

[27:04 / Marker 5] – Estimated Percentage of Spam which is blocked at what spot in the Anti-spam mail flow process based on MSIT deployment of FPE (not including FOPE)

[29:05 / Marker 6] – What is Backscatter and how does it work

[36:40 / Marker 7] – Final tips on backscatter, content filtering, DNSBL, SMTP and sender ID, SPAM and BACON.

Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) released

David Tesar — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 07:30:00 GMT

MSE, a free consumer anti-malware program, has released their final version to the public today! Already As an IT Pro, what can you expect from MSE and how does it compare to the Forefront equivalent? For businesses, Forefront Client Security is the current released client anti-malware product and Forefront Endpoint Protection (FEP) 2010 is the next version slated to be released in H2 2010.

Similarities between MSE and FCS/FEP:

Same core protection engine which includes protection from viruses, spyware, and rootkits.
Uses the same telemetry data and global security response team
Updates signatures through Microsoft Update
Includes real-time threat signature updates “Dynamic Signature Service” (not included with FCS, but will be included with FEP)

Additional Business value from FCS/FEP, which MSE doesn’t have:

Management – FCS/FEP have extensive management capabilities with things like a management console and central location to distribute policies. There is zero management with MSE.
Supported Operating systems – FCS supports server operating systems from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 R2 as well as Windows 2000 clients.
NAP integration – FCS/FEP integrates with Network Access Protection in your environment to quarantine and remediate clients to have access to your network.
Reporting - are provided with key information on the security state of your environment as well as a snapshot of top trends and issues. Administrators can use this data to take action against threats or to communicate the details of the system’s security status to management.
Dynamic Response - FEP will have a significant enhanced capability over FCS which will enable it to share security assessments with the rest of the Forefront Protection Suite and dynamically take actions to remediate threats.
