Network Access Protection & ForeFront Client Security Readiness Assessment

Windows 7 have free antivirus protection, provided by Microsoft Corporation. So, for that matter, reducing your cost by using enterprise level ForeFront security perimeter is going to be a defacto standard.

So, this is high time, you should assess your environment to find out the details about the current security situation in your organization.

Based upon information discovered about your computer environment, this document provides specific recommendations for improving the overall security of your network. In addition, it provides an overview of the integration between Microsoft® Network Access Protection (NAP) and Microsoft Forefront™ Client Security, enabling network administrators to assess the health of networked computers before accessing them.

This assessment describes the current status of your firewall, antivirus, and antispyware products as reported by Windows Security Center as well your environment’ s readiness to support client software for NAP and Forefront Client Security.

Why Network Access Protection?

Exposure of client devices to malicious software, such as viruses and worms, continues to increase. When these programs gain entry to an unprotected or incorrectly configured host system, they can use this system as a staging point to propagate to other devices on the corporate network. A new set of operating system components is included with Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista, and Windows XP with Service Pack 3 that provides network administrators with a platform to help ensure that client computers on a private network meet administrator-defined requirements for system health.

NAP enforces health requirements by monitoring and assessing the health of client computers when those computers attempt to connect or communicate on a network. Client computers that are not in compliance with the health policy can be provided with restricted network access until their configurations are updated and brought into compliance with policy. Depending on how NAP is deployed, noncompliant clients can be quarantined or automatically updated so that users can quickly regain full network access without having to manually update or reconfigure their computers.
