InternetNews | at | by Mike

Microsoft has launched two enhancements to its security offerings and revealed a strategy shift that could further shake up the competition in the antivirus sector.

The company made the second beta of its Forefront Threat Management Gateway available for download. This follows its release yesterday of Forefront Security for Exchange Server Service Pack 1.

Microsoft announced Beta 2 of TMG in a blog by Bill Jensen, senior product manager for TMG.

The product will focus on Web security and Microsoft is positioning TMG to possibly replace antivirus packages from other vendors in the enterprise.
