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.
Benefits :
Comprehensive Security
- Reliably blocks malicious content within web and FTP traffic
- Dual Virus Protection with extensive virus signature databases
- Control for all important IM/P2P applications
Easy to manage
- Browser-based graphical user interface
- Real-time automatic update of firmware and attack patterns

The Astaro Difference
Since 2000, when Astaro invented what today is called Unified Threat Management,
Astaro's research and development team has continuously refined its technology and
extended Astaro's lead in multifunction security appliances,
- Astaro’s applications are best-of-breed - Astaro isn't cobbling
together stand-alone products nor does it inflate firewall/VPN platforms with rudimentary
features. All of Astaro's applications are carefully selected, run through intense
testing, and compete with the best point solutions available.
- First with new protection layers - Our modular and open software
architecture allows Astaro to add new layers of protection as quickly as new threats
arise. Our customers always have the latest protection layers available, automatically
updated, free of charge.
- Only server-class hardware - Inst- Instead of cheap proprietary platforms
and operating systems Astaro runs on what powers the most demanding applications
on the Internet: Intel-Server systems with a hardened embedded security Linux.

Web Security Reporting:
Astaro Web Gateways are equipped with one of the most extensive logging and reporting
systems available on any security product today. Every website visit, download and
IM/P2P usage is fully stored in a self-archiving system, allowing Astaro to then
extrapolate data into useful reports directly on the gateway:
- In-line reports offer up-to-date statistical information through more then thirty
detailed reports, updated every fifteen minutes. These help identify top web, application
and bandwidth usages per user or domain. These reports offer fully detailed breakdown
of surfing activities by IP address or user name as well as complete listings of
blocked domains, URL categories, viruses and file extensions.
- Reporting graphs provide daily, weekly, monthly and yearly overview statistics about
the utilization of hardware components such as CPU, RAM, hard disk, and network
interface usage.
- Executive report includes summary information taken from both the In-line reports
and the reporting graphs. They can be generated on demand and also emailed out to
a list of users on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.
