Astaro Security Gateway

Astaro Security Gateway
Intelligent All-Round Protection for your Network.
Astaro Security Gateway integrates complete Network, Web and Mail Security through an intuitive browser-based user interface. The Astaro Unified Threat Management appliance is the most easy-to-use and cost-effective "all in one" solution available, working to effectively shield businesses from internet based threats everyday.

Why should you use it?
ASG hardware appliances are based on high quality Intel-compatible server systems with each model offering an identical feature set. Small businesses will therefore not have to surrender important security features due to down-scaled hardware performance. Furthermore, all models offer an integrated hard disk drive in order to locally store quarantined emails and log data, avoiding the need for additional servers.

How can you use it?
Astaro Security Gateway hardware appliances can be easily deployed at

the perimeter of your network to protect all email, web and network user traffic. Since all hardware appliances feature a pre-installed operating system and software, the initial setup will be fast and without complication. There is no further need for client based software installation.

With a complete range of models available, ASG hardware appliances effectively protect networks from 10 to more than 2000 users.

Networks need to be protected against a wide variety of Internet threats, including denial of service attacks, port scans, worms, trojans, botnets and application exploits. Organizations often implement point products such as IPS systems, VPN routers and firewalls as a solution. This not only requires the maintenance of multiple products, but users also need to be continuously assured that these products are fully integrated in order to effectively protect their network. Astaro Security Gateway Network Security eliminates these issues, providing a single security application suite, integrated into an easy-to-manage Unified Threat Management solution. Technical Specifications Stateful deep inspection packet filter firewall Transparent proxies for HTTP, FTP, SMTP, POP3, DNS and SOCKS DoS, DDoS, Portscan, Worm, Botnet and Flood protection 6,000+ IPS rules with real-time signature updates VPN and Remote Access with SSL, IPSec, L2TP over IPSec and PPTP Stateful VoIP support: H.323, SIP Authentication via Active Directory, eDirectory, Radius, Tacacs+, LDAP or Local Support for integrated as well as external certificate authorities In and outbound traffic shaping (Guarantee, Maximum, Priority) Active/Active Clustering with integrated load balancing Automatic system software updates End user self-service portal Daily executive reports Web proxy cache for bandwidth savings Astaro Security Gateway Web Security URL Filtering, Malware Detection, Bandwidth Management and Application Control. Web surfing and file downloads can put your computer and network at risk from spyware and virus infection. Furthermore, applications such as Skype, Instant Messaging and Peer-to-Peer present many new risks for the company network which circumvent established protection mechanisms. Moreover, employee access to inappropriate sites could potentially induce legal consequences or reduce business productivity. Astaro Security Gateway unifies the entire web filtering scope in one easy-to-use appliance, eliminating the complexity and high costs associated with the deployment of dedicated URL filtering, antivirus and IM control tools. Technical Specifications High performance HTTP and FTP gateways Time, user and user group based filtering Authentication via Active Directory, eDirectory, Radius, Tacacs+, LDAP or Local Single sign on for Active Directory and eDirectory Two independent Anti-virus engines with 300,000+ patterns plus zero-day heuristics Scanning of HTTP, FTP and webmail traffic Prevents infection and hidden communication through Spyware URL Filtering of 20+ million websites in 60 categories Filtering of active content such as Java, Active X, Flash, Cookies, VBScript or JavaScript Web proxy cache for bandwidth saving IM control: AIM, ICQ, MSN, Skype, Yahoo, IRC, Gtalk, Jabber P2P control: Bittorrent, Gnutella, eDonkey, WinMX, Winny, Manolita, Ares Astaro Security Gateway Mail Security Antispam, Antiphishing, Antivirus and Email Encryption. More than 80% of all messages are spam related, phishing attacks are on the rise and email spreads the majority of virus and spyware infections. Email security is therefore a major business requirement for organizations of all sizes. Furthermore, as the majority of emails are sent unprotected, comparable to a traditional postcard, organizations are exposed to major risks including the loss of vital information or violating industry regulations when disclosing confidential or proprietary information. The Astaro Security Gateway embodies a unified solution for all of these risks, combining email filtering and encryption in one powerful appliance.
