SecureGUARD TMG Edition

...keep the bad guys out!

The Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway (TMG 2010) includes firewall functions with a stateful inspection package filter, an application layer firewall, VPN gateway functions, URL-Filtering, web proxy and antivirus functionality. It is an especially interesting proposition for use in homogenous Microsoft environments with central authentification.

TMG is integrated into a back-end application infrastructure such as Exchange Server and Windows SharePoint® Services and thus offers a secure mechanism for authentification and access.

Tools such as wizards for the automatic publication of server resources, form-based pre-authentification, adjustable security settings for Exchange and Windows SharePoint® Services as well as many other improvements make TMG stand out in comparison with other security platforms.

Exactly where in my environment should TMG 2010 be used?

TMG 2010 combines the strengths of a firewall on the application level with VPN, proxy and caching functions.
This solution can be used for the following purposes:

• As a branch office gateway to provide connectivity and security for branch offices.
• To protect the publication of an application in order to safeguard the remote access of users to company resources
• As web access protection against threats from the internet and ingenious attacks (AV, URL-Filtering).

The SecureGUARD TMG 2010 appliance is a convincing proposition as a result of a new optimized, inexpensive design which helps to reduce operating costs and makes it unnecessary to install several devices from various suppliers. The central IT department can now introduce a consolidated security appliance solution which is flexible and easy to implement.

Companies inundated by ingenious targeted attacks on their networks profit most from them. Companies from a wide range of sectors such as financial services, resellers or authorities and administrations can draw great benefits from the deployment of TMGs as protection for Internet clients and as a way of making internal resources available to remote employees.
