How good is Your Firewall? |

Many low end firewalls are merely packet filtering devices that look to see if data packets are coming from a legitimate and permitted address. They offer no protection against spoofing or embedded viruses, worms or trojans. In light of today’s environment of intrusions that infect a system and use any address books there to propagate itself, your network may be at risk. Most high-end firewalls use stateful inspection. They not only look at addresses, but also look “inside” the packets for harmful code and disguised intrusions. The problem is that these firewalls are usually very expensive.
After doing the research, CPS is recommending Astaro to our clients as a low cost, high performance solution.
Astaro Security Linux is a fully integrated software security solution that provides superior performance in an all-in-one firewall. Including a hardened operating system, stateful packet inspection, spam protection, surf and virus protection, content filtering, application proxies and IPSec-based VPN, Astaro Security Linux provides a powerful all-in-one solution addressing today’s security issues. Astaro Security Linux is designed to maximize your network’s security without compromising its performance. It enables telecommuters, branch offices, customers and suppliers to safely share critical business information.
Astaro is available both as an appliance and software only. It is one of the easiest to use firewalls we have seen and is priced competitively with firewalls that do far less.
