Category: Security, Servers and Server OS

Tags: security risks, windows server 2008, windows server, sharepoint, software, network

Overview Petron Corporation, a petroleum refining and distribution company, wanted to reduce its network's exposure to security risks. The client devices that its mobile work force used were a chronic source of viruses because they often picked up malicious software from other systems. However, Petron was unable to verify the health of those devices before granting them network access. To improve security, Petron deployed Windows Server 2008 with Network Access Protection. Now Petron employees can connect more securely, and the healthier network is easier to manage. IT administrators have more time for other projects that further improve and protect Petron's IT environment, including the implementation of Microsoft Forefront Client Security and Forefront Security for SharePoint.
