Q: (from John)
at the Alexandria, Va TS2 event a few weeks ago I recall (perhaps incorrectly) your answer of "No" to my question of whether or not Forefront Security for Sharepoint, supports WSS as well as MOSS. As the following post to the SANS alumni discussion list indicates, the www page at the Microsoft www site whose url is:
http://www.microsoft.com/forefront/serversecurity/sharepoint/overview.mspx
seems to indicate that Forefront Security for Sharepoint DOES support WSS as well as MOSS. Can you please clarify this?
A:
You are correct, Forefront for SharePoint does cover both WSS3 & MOSS2007:
“Through deep integration with Office SharePoint 2007 and Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, Forefront Security for SharePoint helps protect your collaboration environment…”

I vaguely remember the question, but honestly don’t remember why I would have answered that it didn’t cover WSS unless I was thinking about the requirement of SQL (Forefront needs it, WSS doesn’t).
