Wireless Modem Router: Kaspersky Lab Announces Support for Microsoft

Kaspersky Lab, a leading developer of secure content management solutions, announces that its antivirus solutions will support Microsoft Forefront codename “Stirling.”

Currently in public beta, Forefront “Stirling” is an integrated security suite that delivers comprehensive protection across endpoint, application servers and edge solutions with a central management console for easy administration and enterprise-wide multi product visibility. Forefront “Stirling” enables software, hardware, and services vendors to share and use security event information across the “Stirling” environment and the broader partner ecosystem. As a result, partners can enhance the effectiveness of their security technologies and better protect customer IT environments.

Kaspersky Lab announces that future versions of Kaspersky Antivirus for Lotus Domino will detect anomalous behavior and provide security assessments based on settings established by a system administrator in Microsoft Forefront codename “Stirling” Beta 2. This usage scenario will enable the administrator to be proactively notified of potentially dangerous threats, and flag corrective actions that should be taken to eliminate the spread of potentially malicious code. Key areas of potential interaction between Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Lotus Notes/Domino and Forefront “Stirling” were also taken into consideration by Microsoft. The ability to tightly integrate previously disparate security systemswill greatly enhance the security posture of organizations deploying the combined solution.
