Introduction

Forefront TMG is a comprehensive secure web gateway solution that helps to protect networks in an organization against web-based threats. Forefront TMG also delivers simple, unified perimeter security, with integrated firewall, VPN, intrusion prevention, malware inspection and URL filtering, thus securing the network of the target environment without degrading its performance. Figure 1 shows the architecture of the Forefront TMG.

Even a small glitch in the performance of the Forefront TMG can expose the target environment to malicious virus attacks and unauthorized access, which may cause significant data loss. To avoid this, the availability and performance of the firewall should be continuously monitored. This is where eG Enterprise helps administrators.
