Web Filtering

Extend your control over web access.

Controlling employee web access is essential to maximizing productivity and minimizing operational risk.

URL filter and anti-virus tools provide only limited control, requiring you to deploy and maintain multiple products – typically at significant hassle and expense.

Astaro Security Gateways unify the web filtering capabilities organizations require. The complexity and high cost associated with multiple products is eliminated.

  • Inspect all Web, Instant Messaging, and Peer-to-peer traffic. Perform fast, accurate filtering using Astaro’s patent-pending Content Inspection Framework.
  • Stop Viruses and Spyware. Achieve unmatched detection rates for known and unknown malware with three scan engines combined in this one product.
  • Filter Web Access: Grant web access by user and time of day, and set policies based on 60 easy-to-navigate categories containing over 19 million sites. Daily updates of newly discovered websites maximize coverage.

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

  • Simple User Enrollment: Create and apply web access profiles to existing user groups from databases such as Active Directory, LDAP, or Radius.
  • Granular Usage Reporting: Distill detailed Web usage data into real-time, easy-to-understand reports, optionally also distributed automatically by e-mail.

Astaro’s unified approach deploys more than three times faster than “best-of-breed” point product combinations, according to a Tolly Group study.

Celerius is an authorized Astaro Partner and has been selling and supporting network security solutions for over a decade.
