Microsoft Releases Antigen e-mail Security Products

Microsoft has released its Antigen e-mail security products including Antigen for Exchange, Antigen for SMTP Gateways, Antigen Spam Manager and Antigen Enterprise Manager. This is the first Microsoft-branded release of the enterprise anti-virus and anti-spam products acquired in the 2005 acquisition of Sybari Software Inc.

Antigen for Exchange provides anti-virus and content filtering for Exchange Server 2003 and 2000, stopping threats that get past perimeter defenses while simultaneously containing internal incidents.

Antigen for SMTP Gateways provides anti-virus and content filtering for Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2000 Server SMTP Gateways, stopping threats before they reach internal messaging resources and users.

Antigen Spam Manager provides anti-spam and content filtering for Windows-based SMTP and Exchange servers, stopping spam before it can affect user and network productivity.

Antigen Enterprise Manager provides centralized management for Antigen-protected servers, improving IT administrators’ visibility into and control of e-mail server security.

Antigen Messaging Security Suite provides comprehensive anti-virus, anti-spam and content filtering for Exchange Server 2003 and Exchange 2000 Server e-mail servers and SMTP gateways (includes Antigen for Exchange, Antigen for SMTP Gateways and Antigen Spam Manager).

Antigen Management Pack for Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 provides critical events and alerts on virus, worm and spam activity to Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 from Antigen for Exchange Server 2003, Antigen for SMTP Gateways, and Antigen Spam Manager, and monitors the health and availability of these products.

All of the Antigen products utilise multiple scanning engines from AhnLab, Authentium, CA, Kaspersky Lab, MailFilters.com, Norman Data Defense Systems, Sophos and VirusBuster.

A free three-month trial license for Antigen e-mail security products is available online at http://www.microsoft.com/antigen/downloads/trial-software.mspx. All Antigen products will be available through Microsoft Volume Licensing and the Microsoft industry partner channel on July 1, 2006.
