Forefront Security for Sharepoint

Current version of Forefront provides features like:

  • Scans for infected documents and has content filtering solution (can tell if user attempts to upload .mp3 files that have been renamed to .mp5, for instance)
  • Supports IRM protected docs & Open XML
  • Supports blocking/filtering files based upon both size & type … block .mp3’s > 5 MB.
  • Supports scanning of .zip files, detects prohibited file(s), removes offending file & re-zips package omitting the prohibited file.  (THIS IS PRETTY SLICK!)

Codename “Stirling”

  • Focus is on more enterprise security and support for MOSS & Sharepoint v014 (next version)
  • Unfortunately, no reference to support for encryption & sharepoint … obviously, not something within the Forefront space.
