Desktop management and security have traditionally existed as two 
 separate disciplines. Yet both play a central role in keeping users 
 safe and productive. Management ensures proper system configuration, 
 deploys patches against vulnerabilities, and delivers necessary 
 security updates. Security provides critical threat detection, 
 outbreak response, and system remediation.

 Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010 enables businesses to align 
 security and management to improve endpoint protection while 
 greatly reducing operational costs. It builds on System Center 
 Configuration Manager 2007 R2 and R3, allowing customers to use 
 their existing client management infrastructure to deploy and 
 manage endpoint protection. This shared infrastructure helps reduce 
 ownership costs while providing improved visibility and control 
 over endpoint management and security.
