Speaking at the Sharepoint Conference 2008

Virus Scanning and Content Filtering for MOSS 2007 and WSS 3.0 Using Microsoft Forefront Security for SharePoint
I will be co presenting with Noelle Mendez-Villamil & Matthew McDermott
Microsoft Forefront Security for SharePoint integrates multiple scan engines from industry-leading vendors and content controls to help businesses protect their Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 collaboration environments by eliminating documents containing malicious code, confidential information, and inappropriate content. This session covers how Forefront Security for SharePoint leverages the SharePoint 2007 API to scan infected documents, keywords for inappropriate language, and non-compliant file types. Attendees receive an in-depth drill down on the setting and configurations of the real-time and manual scan jobs. Catapult Systems will provide a partner perspective on the deployment and use of this product while Del Monte Foods will provide real life scenarios on how they deployed and manage this solution for their intranet and extranet deployments of SharePoint.

How to simplify management

Since October my life just got much easier - how you ask; by installing the Forefront Management console on one of my web servers. I can now see all my SharePoint, Exchange and Antigen installations from one easy to read console. Microsoft did a good job making it easy to see the status and health of all your servers in the environment.

Forefront Security for SharePoint 2007

If you have had an opportunity to check this new web site built on Office SharePoint 2007 (MOSS) you should. Two cool things I've noticed about it; one it's built on MOSS and second it uses a really clean new design using Silverlight.
