Harland and Wolff, founded in 1861, is a renowned Irish ship builder and engineering firm with approximately 250 employees. The company recently updated its IT infrastructure by deploying Microsoft products and technologies, but it still lacked solid IT security protection for its employees' computers. That presented a major challenge because the firm needs to closely guard its design and engineering information. In early 2007, Harland and Wolff implemented Microsoft Forefront Client Security, a new software security solution that helps protect computers from spyware, viruses, and other security threats. The company can now offer its IT administrators simplified management and improved reporting capabilities. Additionally, this new solution integrates well with the organization's Windows-based infrastructure while providing automated administration and improved protection.
