SAS, a global technology leader, wanted to extend its internal collaboration environment, based on Microsoft SharePoint products and technologies, to include an extranet. It also wanted to minimize the potential of a virus attack vector being exposed within the extranet. To accomplish this, the company is extending the effectiveness of defense-in-depth to its extranet thanks to Microsoft Forefront Security for SharePoint. SAS protects its extranet with up to five simultaneous engines and maintains that protection without needing additional staff.
