Web Filtering

Content Filter.  Anti Virus and Spyware.  P2P Control.

Controlling employee web access is essential to maximising productivity and minimising operational risk.

URL filter and anti-virus tools provide only limited control, requiring you to deploy and maintain multiple products – typically at significant hassle and expense.

Astaro Security Gateways unify the web filtering capabilities organisations require.  The complexity and high cost associated with multiple products is eliminated.

• Inspect all Web, Instant Messaging, and Peer-to-peer traffic.   Perform fast, accurate filtering using Astaro’s patent-pending Content Inspection Framework.  
• Stop Viruses and Spyware. Achieve unmatched detection rates for known and unknown malware with two scan engines combined in this one product.  
• Filter Web Access. Grant web access by user and time of day, and set policies based on 60 easy-to-navigate categories containing over 19 million sites.  Daily updates of newly discovered websites maximise coverage.  

Easy Configuration

Astaro Security Gateways seamlessly integrate all Astaro solutions with an award-winning browser-based user interface.

• Simple User Enrollment: Create and apply web access profiles to existing user groups from databases such as Active Directory, LDAP, or Radius.  
• Granular Usage Reporting: Distill detailed Web usage data into real-time, easy-to-understand reports, optionally also distributed automatically by email.  

Astaro’s unified approach deploys more than three times faster than “best-of-breed” point product combinations, according to a Tolly Group study.

Flexible Deployment Options

The Astaro Security Gateway is compatible with any type of network and adjusts well to your small, mid-size or large organisation.
