When you select a company to provide security for your most valuable data, it’s nice to know that they’ve already gotten the thumbs-up. At Astaro Internet Security, they’ve gotten plenty. Voted “Best SME Security Solution 2010″ by SC Magazine, Best Choice 2009 by WINMAG Pro, and “Software-Based Firewall Readers Choice” at WindowSecurity.com, AIS consistently provides top-quality protection at competitive prices.Of course, the network security market is heavily glutted, so it’s important to have features that set your product apart. Astaro has fine-tuned their technology to the smallest detail, including their basic firewall. Using an object-based approach, businesses can define workstations, web servers, and more, and then easily refer back to it throughout the security software. The packet filter included with the firewall also automatically updates URLs associated with an object, so programmers don’t need to waste time adding each new change manually.The Intrusion Prevention System is what keeps out the sinisterly-named worms, viruses, and hackers, along with any other unwanted traffic. The IPS inspects each packet that passes through the network and removes any that fail a checklist of over 8000 rules. Worried that your system won’t be able to keep up with the insidious hackers aimed at breaking into it? Don’t be. The rules list automatically updates every few minutes, ensuring that no young viruses will show up unexpectedly.In addition to security, Astaro offers numerous time-saving programs. For example, their Branch Office Virtual Private Network lets remote locations connect with the main office, and it can be set up without prior experience in VPNs. The benefits of such a system range from being able to use printers in separate offices to accessing servers across the country. Another efficient program is the UserPortal, which lets users work on e-mail and remote technologies without an administrator’s assistance.
