== History ==
The predecessor to the Forefront server protection products was the Antigen line of antivirus products created by [[Sybari Software]]. Sybari was acquired by Microsoft in 2005, and the first Microsoft-branded version of the product was called Microsoft Forefront Security for SharePoint (FSSP) Version 10. FSSP Version 10 supports Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 or Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services version 3, whereas FPSP (the most recent version of the product) supports Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2010, Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 SP1, or Windows SharePoint Services version 3 SP1.
It was announced on September 12, 2012 via the [http://blogs.technet.com/b/server-cloud/archive/2012/09/12/important-changes-to-forefront-product-roadmaps.aspx Microsoft Server & Cloud Blog] that no further releases of Forefront Protection 2010 for SharePoint (FPSP) would be produced.
