The news that Google saves unencrypted content from Wi-Fi networks as it collects data for its Street View mapping service is creating an uproar among the public – by Astaro’s Gert Hansen.
Larry Walsh discusses companies that have developed successful businesses selling hardware solutions. The list includes Astaro.
The Astaro Security Gateway provides a comprehensive set of protection features. Astaro attacks threats on three main security fronts: network, mail and web. This product includes a firewall, IPS, anti-malware scanning at the gateway, web content filtering, VPN, SSL remote access, email encryption, and IM/P2P filtering. “We found this tool to be quite simple to deploy and configure.” said CRN Tech.
Security Gateway Version 8 provides SMBs and enterprises with comprehensive security protection. Its features include: multi-role administration where users can specify access permissions for different administrators; configuration change auditing; IPv6 support; printable configuration that saves a copy of configurations for auditing or compliance reasons; VPN activity reporting which displays the status and historical activity of remote workers; and country blocking to disallow all communications with specified countries or regions.

Two premiere security conferences, Black Hat and DefCon, run back-to-back in Las Vegas this week, each with their own distinct flavor. But even these events don't meet the needs of all computer security pros, setting the stage for a widening set of satellite events. Jack Daniel, community development manager for Astaro, says he's getting to town a day early specifically for a four-and-a-half hour conference run by security vendor Codenomicon, then sitting on a panel at Security B-Sides, which directly competes with Black Hat, then speaking at DefCon. That wealth of content in one city at one time is a big draw. "It's a reason to get to Vegas this week if you can afford it," Daniel says.
BSides seems to have struck a chord as well. The line up for this years event in Las Vegas (going on now) is quite prestigious. One of the volunteers and drivers of the BSides events, Jack Daniel (not that Jack Daniels) of Astaro (an open source based UTM), has a blog post with some of the sessions scheduled.
Unlike other conferences, BSides is meant to offer an open platform that gives security experts and industry professionals the opportunity to share ideas and insights, and develop longstanding relationships with others in the community,” said Jack Daniel, Co-founder of Security BSides. “This show is a rare opportunity for participants to directly connect and create trusted relationships with key members of the security community.”
The security "unconference" is back in Vegas, and this time the setting is a gated private resort with multiple swimming pools and a sand beach, and the number of attendees signed up so far for the free, yes, free, event has doubled. But that doesn't mean Security BSides will lose the intimate vibe that its organizers envisioned and encouraged when they first launched it in Las Vegas a year ago. It won't be quite as cozy as last year, where there were about 40 to 100 people tops at one time at the smaller "hacker house" the BSides organizers rented. So far close to 400 attendees are expected for this year's event. But BSides won't pack hundreds of attendees in a room like Black Hat USA and Defcon, which are headlining the security conferences in Sin City next week. "There will still be plenty of rooms where you can continue the conversation," notes Jack Daniel, one of the founders and organizers of BSides. It's those side conversations that security folk thrive on, even at the bigger events.
Astaro’s Regina Grieco has been recognized by Everything Channel’s CRN Magazine as one of the top "Women of the Channel".
