Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway (TMG) 2010 is the last iteration of the product previously known as ISA Server, and as of 2016, has been discontinued from sale. The base product will be supported by Microsoft until 2020.
ISA Server 2006 was the last product to use the ISA Server name.
TMG 2010 added:
- subscription-based URL filtering (discontinued Jan 2016)

- (free) subscription-based Network Inspection System (NIS), a Microsoft-centric IPS (no longer updated)
- outbound HTTPS inspection

Other notable changes:

- SP1 adds a simple BranchCache setup interface
- SP1 Software Update 1 adds support for SafeSearch filtering
