Microsoft Puts Security Suite On Hold

Microsoft has decided to delay its integrated security suite, codenamed Stirling, until the fourth quarter of 2009.

Stirling was initially supposed to ship in the first half of this year. According to Microsoft, the company will begin releasing the suite in the fourth quarter of 2009 with the launch of Forefront Server Security for Exchange and Forefront Threat Management Gateway (formerly Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server).

The “Stirling” management console, Forefront Client Security 2.0 and Forefront Security for SharePoint will be released in the first half of 2010.
