Astaro Web Gateway Features
URL Filtering – controls employee web access for specific content categories. This not only maximises productivity but also enforces compliance and reduces legal risks, especially in educational environments where child protection is essential.
Malware Detection - filters all web and FTP traffic in order to stop viruses, spyware and active content from entering your network. Prevents hidden “phone home” communication from spyware infected PCs, avoiding the leakage of confidential data.
Application Control - steers and manages access and use of IM/P2P applications, including Skype, in order to prevent unwanted communication channels and questionable file transfers. Usage of specific applications can be either allowed for specific IP addresses, alerted to the administrator or blocked completely.
Bandwidth Management – orchestrates the bandwidth in order to prioritise important business applications. Allows definition of granular bandwidth limitations for certain applications, including IM/P2P.
Easy to manage - an intuitive setup wizard enables you to get the system up and running within minutes. The browser-based GUI features easy point-and-click administration without requiring in-depth technical knowledge.
Astaro Up2Date Service – automatic Internet updates of firmware and attack patterns always keep the system at a current level.
