Integrated circuit manufacturer Analog Devices was using a well-known PC antivirus product that had a number of problems: limited malware detection, unreliable virus engine updates, inadequate reporting capabilities, and proprietary management tools. To address those issues, the company has deployed an integrated desktop security solution based on Microsoft software, including the Microsoft Forefront line of business security products and the Microsoft System Center family of IT management solutions. The resulting improved security is helping increase productivity for users, while new reporting capabilities and a simpler, more integrated infrastructure are providing similar benefits for the company's IT staff.
