PrintSINGAPORE – Astaro Corporation introduced three new IT security solutions; Astaro Application Control, Astaro Log Management and Astaro Endpoint Security. The new technologies represent Astaro’s commitment to offering the next generation of Unified Threat Management solutions by providing IT security that extends beyond the perimeter, protects against modern threats and improves administrators’ visibility into network operations.
Network configurations and the threat landscape have become increasingly complex, making it necessary for organizations to consolidate their IT security. Astaro has continued their approach of developing a more comprehensive solution to protecting company networks.
As part of the commitment to innovation and offering comprehensive security Astaro will release three new products and features in 2011:
Astaro Application Control adds Next Generation Firewall capabilities that help IT administrators gain visibility into Internet usage, block unwanted applications like Facebook or Ultrasurf and prioritize Internet bandwidth usage. Astaro’s application control allows administrators to monitor which applications are being used and by whom. It can limit the use of productivity draining applications while allowing access to applications necessary for employees to fulfill their responsibilities.
Astaro Log Management allows Astaro Security Gateway users to centrally store and analyze log data from all systems and applications. With its error tracking, policy protection and automatic alerts, it can reduce troubleshooting time by up to 80% while helping companies comply with PCI and other regulations.
Astaro Endpoint Security adds Data Leakage Prevention that enables usage control of USB ports, DVD drives and other peripheral devices. Managed by a central Astaro Security Gateway, security agents can be easily enrolled to every device on your local network or even at remote locations. It includes comprehensive reporting features which allow IT administrators to analyze device usage and track the location of each machine in case of theft or loss.

Geography appears to play a role in frequency of observed attacks on specific ports. For example, Port 23 (Telnet) is a favorite target for attacks observed to be originating from South Korea and Turkey, where it accounted for more than five times the number of attacks targeting the next most popular port (445 in both countries). Other instances of geography-based port targeting include observed attacks centered on Port 1433 (Microsoft SQL Server) in China and on Port 80 (WWW/HTTP) in Indonesia.
