! New IAG - Unified Access Gateway (UAG)

Petizme — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 22:54:18 GMT

Hi all,

As Forefront MVP I already know about it, but now (April 29th) it's public.

"At the Interop conference today, Microsoft announced its next-generation secure remote access gateway product, Forefront Unified Access Gateway (UAG), available in the first half of 2009. Forefront Unified Access Gateway is the evolution of Microsoft's current solution, Intelligent Application Gateway (IAG 2007), and moves the successful product under the Forefront brand. UAG will bring new features and functionality to make remote access easier than ever for all users and IT professionals.

...

Built on Windows Server 2008, UAG is designed to offer one solution to fit all remote access needs through centralized management and policy control across all users, devices, and network resources. More details about the features in Forefront UAG will be available with a public beta scheduled for later this calendar year. Microsoft will provide an easy product and licensing upgrade path from IAG 2007 or customers using ISA 2006 for remote access to Forefront UAG, and IAG customers that have or buy Microsoft Software Assurance can be confident of receiving strong value with Forefront UAG.

Forefront UAG will add further features to a comprehensive end point security assessment and cache cleanup, which is tailored to the specific application and access environment. Tightly integrated with Microsoft Network Access Protection, this ensures only secure devices and authenticated users can access network resources and that no data is compromised during or after the sessions.

Forefront UAG adds more ease of use with wizard driven configuration, easy to use policies and highly intuitive user experience. This solution ensures a fast and easy deployment allowing employees, partners and vendors simple and secure access, via customized and dynamic user portals. Ongoing management and control is simplified via updates to application and endpoint policies.

! MVP Summit 2008 - Seattle & Redmond - WA - USA

Petizme — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 15:57:23 GMT

Hi all,

Last week was the MVP Global Summit, edition 2008, at Seattle & Redmond (Microsoft Campus) - WA - USA. Participate in this exclusive event is one of benefits to be a MVP.

This year we had more breakout sessions with the product team and my case much better than 2007 was. I saw sessions w/ Forefront Client Security, Forefront Server, ISA/TMG/IAG/UAC and Stirling. Almost all content is under NDA and I cannot tell you what I see, but "Stirling" is already available to download as a beta and you can try it (see my old post about it).

About the keynotes, we had Ray Ozzie and Steve Ballmer! Steve was incredible!!!

Thanks to MVP Team for this opportunity.

Thanks Forefront Team by your support.

!Microsoft Security Bootcamp on Mexico

Petizme — Sat, 02 Jun 2007 00:33:17 GMT

Hi,

Next week, from 4 to 8 June I'll be on a Microsoft Security Bootcamp with Forefront/IAG/ISA on México.

This event will be destined for countries of Latin America and I will be representing Brazil there. Will be there only one person of each country.

I hope that I'll have access to broad band to be able to post some news to you about this event/training.

Thanks, again, to Frois and Ana [from Microsoft Brazil] by this opportunity.
