BANGALORE: Microsoft India today launched Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2004 Enterprise Edition. In addition to enhanced manageability, scalability and availability features to better maximize the returns on security infrastructure investments, the product offers improved authentication services; strengthened data protection features, and allows faster remote access to information. ISA Server 2004 Enterprise Edition provides unique protection for critical business scenarios, such as more-secure remote access to Microsoft Exchange servers through Outlook Web Access and Microsoft Office Outlook 2003. Speaking on the launch, Saurabh Misra, Product Marketing Manager, Microsoft India said, "Historically, firewalls have been very difficult to configure and implement. ISA Server 2004's user interface and wizard functionality allows companies that lack dedicated security resources to easily create a locked down, hardened infrastructure that protects against the new generation of threats. Microsoft has done for firewall technology what previously only existed in hardware-based firewalls." "Manageability is the other big thing. Whether a business has 50, hundreds or thousands of ISA Servers, they can manage the entire environment more easily with the enterprise edition.
