Local distributor of Astaro Germany, Biodata IT South Africa, proudly announces that Astaro Security Linux Version 5 has fulfilled the criteria and passed the 4.0 test for ICSA Labs` Firewall Product Certification.
ICSA Labs(r), an independent division of TruSecure(r) Corporation, tests and certifies over 90 percent of the security technology products in the world. Certification ensures customers that Astaro Security Linux offers the highest level of firewall protection. The organization tests products in key technology categories such as anti-virus, firewall, IPSec VPN, cryptography, intrusion detection, PC firewall, content security, SSL-VPN and wireless LAN.
Chris Runte, director of Biodata IT expresses his thrill this way: "This firewall is the most advanced Linux based security solution available. It is running in more than 60 countries worldwide and its version 5 is a true all-in-one solid network security solution that combines a firewall, VPN, an intrusion detection and prevention system, virus, spam and surf protection (URL filtering). Since it is Linux based it runs on any Intel server and supports all major industry standards."
Despite this wide range of security functions, Astaro Security Linux is also affordable for small and medium-sized companies with limited IT resources and budget. The WebAdmin interface is most flexible and logging and reporting functions are unified to ensure a clear and fast analysis. Pattern recognition analyze data streams and recognize attacks before they reach the network. Virus scanning is not only limited to e-mail but is also expanded to data downloads from the Internet. This award-winning open source-based solution eliminates the need for multiple security products which saves time and money.
In Astaro Security Linux V5 the seamlessly integrated VPN functionality is augmented by L2TP over IPSec, which enables clientless native Windows IPSec support. It can automatically generate and distribute Astaro IPSec client configurations eliminating the need for complex manual client configurations. This more readily enables the mass distribution of remote VPN clients and minimizes problems caused by faulty client configurations, making IPSec VPN as easy to configure as SSL VPN.
