Astaro Web Gateway 1000

Astaro Web Security Overview:

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. 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 96 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.

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.
