With Astaro Security Gateway Web Security, network administrators gain a simple and effective way to:

• Filter Web Access - Grant web access through user and time settings. Set policies based on sixty easy-to-navigate categories, containing over twenty million sites. Daily updates of newly discovered websites maximize coverage.
• Inspect Web & FTP Traffic - Achieve unmatched malware detection rates for known and unknown viruses, spyware and active content through two scan engines combined in a single product.
• Application Control - Steer and manage access and use of Skype and IM/P2P applications by user and group.

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 that 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.
