System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection Integration

Endpoint Protection, known previously as Forefront Endpoint Protection, has been integrated into System Center 2012 Configuration Manager. Unlike most of the other features of ConfigMgr that are integrated into the ConfigMgr agent, Endpoint Protection uses its own agent.

Endpoint Protection supports the detection and remediation of malware, spyware, and rootkits. A full set of policies scan schedules, definition update source locations, exclusion settings, default actions, and so on. In addition, Endpoint Protection can manage basic Windows Firewall settings such as enabling or disabling the firewall state, blocking incoming connections, and user notification of program blocking.
