Email is under attack: 70% of all messages are spam, Phishing attacks are on the rise, and email spreads the majority of virus and spyware infections.

The Astaro Security Gateway provides a unified solution to all these threats, combining filtering, encryption and signing in one powerful appliance.

Network administrators gain a simple, effective way to:

• Stop spam. Use eight state-of-the-art anti-spam features to minimize productivity loss and security vulnerability. Stop threats before they reach email servers.
• Prevent phishing. Improve detection with email scanning and url filtering. Our security response team assures updates occur automatically and in real time.
• Block viruses. Achieve unmatched detection rates for known and unknown malware. All traffic (SMTP, POP3, and web) is inspected with three scan engines.
• Encrypt and sign e-mails. Use open OpenPGP and S/MIME standards to communicate safely. No need for client software, everything is handled transparently at the gateway.

Easy Configuration

Astaro Security Gateways seamlessly integrate all Astaro solutions with an award-winning browser-based user interface.
