Astaro Security Gateway - Network Security Overview
With Astaro Security Gateway Network Security, network administrators gain a simple and effective way to:
- Control Network Access - Use the latest stateful deep inspection firewall techniques to control user access in regard to specific information and access times.
- Stop Intruders - Implement state of the art intrusion prevention technology for in-depth filtering, protecting against more than 6,000 attacks as well as zero day attacks.
- Secure Remote Access - Use SSL, IPSec L2TP or PPTP protocols to create secure virtual private networks, connecting branch offices and granting remote access to workers.
- Optimise Performance - Scan traffic with little or no latency and reserve bandwidth for time-sensitive applications such as VoIP.
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. Organisations often implement point products like 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.
