What is "Forefront Unified Security Gateway" ?

My WSUS server has just downloaded:-

"HTTP Malware Definition Update for Microsoft Forefront Unified Security
Gateway (Antimalware 1.21.2948.10)"
"USG HTTP Malware Protection helps guard against emerging threats such as
spyware and viruses."

This has a hyperlink that points to the ISA server page
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=98650

Does anyone know what "Microsoft Forefront Unified Security Gateway" is?

This seems to be part of the next generation of ISA Server. But I've
absolutely no clue, why it shows up in WSUS.....cause there's currently
nothing related to a beta available :-o

Thanks, sounds interesting, I'll have to keep an eye open for it

Actually, it's the next version of ISA and IAG. It will also allow the integration of the FSC client management console and the server management console instead of managing them separately. I have worked with the Technology Spe******t in my area on them.
