		<description><![CDATA[ Previous versions of the ISA firewall had a rudimentary intrusion detection and prevention system, mostly based on network layer attacks that were popular in the 1990s. For industrial strength IDS/IPS, you had to look somewhere else. With the introduction of the TMG firewall, a new and vastly improved IDS/IPS is included. This is known as the Network Inspection System (NIS). <a href="http://blogs.isaserver.org/shinder/2009/07/03/tmg-network-inspection-system/">more...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ One the reasons to consider a TMG firewall is the ability to integrate the firewall with the rest of your management infrastructure. The concept of managing security under a “single pane of glass” has caught on, as the industry is recognizing that using multiple consoles from multiple vendors with different interface models introduces high overhead in terms of IT training and maintenance. <a href="http://blogs.isaserver.org/shinder/2009/07/03/tmg-scom-pack-monitor-tmg-with-system-center-2007-r2/">more...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ If you haven’t heard of DirectAccess, then now is a great time to start to get to know it. DirectAccess is a new remote access technology (some might even consider it a VPN technology, but that depends on your definition of virtual private networking) that is available when you pair Windows 7 clients with Windows Server 2008 R2.  DirectAccess allows your Windows 7 clients to connect to the corporate network when the machine starts up. <a href="http://blogs.isaserver.org/shinder/2009/06/24/unified-access-gateway-uag-means-directaccess/">more...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are a lot of new goodies included in the Beta 3 version of the upcoming TMG firewall and we’ll cover them in detail here at ISAserver.org in the coming months. However, if you want a quick look at what we think are the best and the brightest new features and capabilities included in the beta 3, then make sure you subscribe to our newsletter. I’ll cover these in the next edition which should be released sometime next week. <a href="http://blogs.isaserver.org/shinder/2009/06/18/excluding-users-from-url-filtering-in-tmg-beta-3/">more...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We all know that there’s a problem with traditional VPNs. It doesn’t matter if they’re PPTP, L2TP/IPsec, SSTP or even IPsec tunnel mode. They all have the same problem: the user has to do something to get them started and they don’t always work from all locations (with the exception of SSTP, which works from behind any firewall or Web proxy that allows outbound HTTPS). <a href="http://blogs.isaserver.org/shinder/2009/06/14/the-directaccess-challenge-nat-traversal/">more...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For those of you who’ve worked with the ISA or TMG firewall for a long time, you’ve probably run into the concept of Direct Access. If not, then pay attention, because it’s something you should know about. Direct Access (a strange term if you ask me) is when a client application bypasses the Web proxy components on the ISA or TMG firewall. To do this, the application can leverage its Firewall client or SecureNAT client configuration. <a href="http://blogs.isaserver.org/shinder/2009/06/14/direct-access-versus-directaccess-know-the-difference/">more...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I mentioned on this blog a few days ago that TMG beta 3 has been released to the public. If you haven’t had a chance yet to check it out, then make some time today and do it! There are a lot of improvements included in the beta 3 version of the TMG firewall and I think you’re going to like them a lot. One of the biggest differences you’ll see between beta 2 and beta 3 is the inclusion of the URL filtering feature. <a href="http://blogs.isaserver.org/shinder/2009/06/11/tmg-beta-3-reintroduces-url-filtering/">more...</a>]]></description>
