Microsoft puts its stamp on e-mail security
Microsoft is expected to launch updated and renamed Antigen e-mail security products, nearly a year after completing the takeover of their maker, Sybari. Meant for use by organisations small and large, the Antigen products promise to cleanse e-mail of spam and viruses. They work with Microsoft's Exchange e-mail server software and are part of the company's strategy to become a player in the security software arena. Last week, Microsoft introduced Windows Live OneCare, a consumer security product.
"Microsoft is committed to providing a comprehensive and integrated set of products to enable a defence-in-depth strategy," said Steve Brown, director of product management in the security, access and solutions division at Microsoft. "Today's announcement is about us bringing those capabilities to the Exchange environment."
