Forefront Threat Management Gateway Beta 3 Now available

A couple of weeks ago I posted a blog regarding Microsoft’s upcoming Beta 3 release of Forefront Threat Management Gateway (TMG) which will be replacing Microsoft ISA server.

Well, it’s now been released and can be downloaded from the Microsoft Download Center:

One of the major improvements in Beta 3 is URL filtering which leverages Microsoft Reputation Services (MRS). With regards to this, Microsoft says:

“At the time of this release, the MRS database content is being populated and updated continuously as part of the initial beta service offering. As this process continues, URL filtering categorization accuracy and comprehensiveness will increase. A telemetry package designed for improving the quality of URL filtering database and collecting your feedback is planned to be released soon. Please check back for updates in August.”

Support for importing Microsoft TMG log files into your favorite WebSpy product is coming soon so stay tuned! Subscribe to the WebSpy blog RSS feed or follow us on twitter if you want to be notified as soon as it’s available.
