Healthcare organizations must open networks to business and technology partners. Internet threats make it difficult to maintain these connections while protecting patient medical records.

Use of multiple security point products adds to the challenge, as network administrators’ time and resources are spent managing deployments – not monitoring security.

The Astaro Security Gateway unifies the network protection, email security and web filtering capabilities healthcare organizations require. Clients reduce the management effort associated with multiple point products by 50% or more (The Tolly Group.) The Astaro Security Gateway is also compliant to HIPAA.

Highlights

Reduce time spent on deployment and maintenance:

Institutions can reduce management efforts 50% or more by using the Astaro Security Gateway in place of point products (The Tolly Group).

Awarded for its intuitive design, the web-based interface uses state-of-the-art AJAX technology. Features like setup wizards, drag-and-drop, and context-sensitive help simplify deployment and maintenance, reducing the chance of mis-configuration.

Protect the network from fast-evolving threats:

Government regulations mandate that medical records are secured from Internet threats. Because threats evolve constantly, network administrators require a comprehensive, constantly updated solution.

The Astaro Security Gateway provides a shield against common attacks. It also deflects “zero day” exploits and – through a flexible architecture and automatic updates – assures protection from future threats.

Proceed confidently with a HIPPA-compliant solution certified by the ISCA and Common Criteria:

The Astaro Security Gateway’s functionality has received multiple certifications important to healthcare organizations.

Improve scalability and reliability:

For efficient load distribution, the Astaro Security Gateway offers a unique active/active clustering solution, allowing clusters with up to ten nodes – without the need for external load balancers. Individual nodes can be dynamically inserted during system operation.

Assure compatibility with virtually any network:

Astaro focuses on turnkey solutions that are simple to deploy and compatible with common network environments. Due to the implementation of relevant protocols and standards, the Astaro Security Gateway can interact with almost every other network appliance.
