| Astaro Web Gateway Overview |
| Astaro Web Security - In many companies, Web 2.0 typically means security level 0.2. Employees routinely access their regular web applications from their work stations and exchange data packets over Instant Messaging programs, therefore creating new scenarios of abuse. Popular web applications do not only reduce the productivity of daily work processes, but can also potentially lead to serious legal consequences. |
| Such undesirable hazards can be averted through the professional management of employee web access. Corruptive content, typically hidden within web and FTP downloads, need to be strategically filtered out in order to protect corporate networks from dangerous malware and spyware infections. The use of single point solutions, such as URL filtering or antivirus products, tend to only marginally secure your perimeter. Today's corporate networks are required to maximize their security through the implementation of complete solutions, which cover all security bases. |
| Astaro Web Gateway serves to effectively protect from web based attacks, provides maximum functionality through minimal effort and accommodates a spectacular price performance ratio. With this "All in One" appliance, IT administrators are easily able to: |
- Filter web access: Grant web access based on sixty easy to navigate categories with user and time based policies.
- Detect malicious code: Perform fast, accurate scanning for viruses, spyware and active content, providing unmatched detection rates via two scan engines.
- Control IM/P2P applications: Steer and manage access and use of all IM and P2P applications including Skype.
- Manage bandwidth: Orchestrate and prioritize bandwidth for important business applications.
