Forefront Protection for SharePoint Server

Microsoft Forefront Protection 2010 for SharePoint Server (FPSP) is a software application from Microsoft that protects Microsoft SharePoint Server document libraries. It enforces rules that prevent documents containing malware, sensitive information, or out-of-policy content from being uploaded.^[1] FPSP is configured through an administration console.

The Microsoft Forefront Protection Server Management Console can be used to manage FPSP on multiple servers. Additionally, FPSP can be configured with Windows PowerShell.

History

The predecessor to the Forefront server protection products was the Antigen line of antivirus products created by Sybari Software. Sybari was acquired by Microsoft in 2005, and the first Microsoft-branded version of the product was called Microsoft Forefront Security for SharePoint (FSSP) Version 10. FSSP Version 10 supports Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 or Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services version 3, whereas FPSP (the most recent version of the product) supports Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2010, Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 SP1, or Windows SharePoint Services version 3 SP1.
