"Microsoft Forefront Security Administration Guide"

Forefront Security for SharePoint
provides a way to eliminate malicious fi les and questionable content. The ability to
use real-time and manual scanning in an integrated environment greatly decreases the
chances that virus outbreaks will occur, which is critical when many users have access
to the same data sources such as documents, spreadsheets, and Web pages.
To provide the greatest level of certainty that any and all malicious fi les will be
detected, Microsoft provides the ability to choose from eight different leading antivirus
vendors, with up to fi ve selected at one time. Combined with the ability to customize
the level of analysis that each fi le gets by selecting the Bias, you are able to provide a
safe working document sharing library. For any business, the ability to balance security
and performance is a priority, which we will need to constantly reassess as Forefront
Administrators of the SharePoint collaborative environment. As more documents are
loaded, more sites are created, and performance loads on the servers adjust, we too
must reevaluate how Forefront is installed and maintained.
During the installation of Forefront Security for SharePoint, it is important to
remember that SharePoint be updated to the latest Service Pack and hot fi xes. If it is
not, you may see exception errors after installation. With the Microsoft??™s Hot Upgrade
technology, Forefront installation is made easier because SharePoint services do not need
to be restarted, resulting in no downtime or loss of productivity for the system users.
