Security Management

Consolidate technologies – while improving security.

Traditionally, organisations deployed point products to address new Internet threats.  But with continuous adoption of new technologies from different vendors not only license costs skyrocket, but also training, integration, and management efforts grow exponentially.

Therefore already over 30,000 organisations chose Astaro Security Gateways to consolidate their security technologies: The combination of enterprise-class network protection, email security and web filtering in one simple, easy-to-use, unified solution brings many benefits:

• More efficient operations. Using the Astaro Security Gateway in place of point products reduces management efforts 50% or more (The Tolly Group).  
• Simplified purchasing. Vendor consolidation reduces license and training costs.  A single 24*7 support contact improves accountability for results.  
• Faster updates.  Replacing multiple, often manual update processes with one highly automated process closes the window of opportunity available to attackers.  
• More security. Nothing is more dangerous than not deployed or incorrectly configured security technology – a risk that a single simplified solution reduces drastically.  

Complete Security Functionality

Astaro Security Gateways are deployed at the edge to protect networks, in the DMZ to filter in between network segments, and in front of email servers to secure communications.  The broad feature set includes:
