Wednesday, 29 December 2004Astaro Security Linux, the | six-in-one, integrated perimeter security package of the Astaro Corporation was named PC Magazine's Best Business Security Solution and Editors' Choice in the publication's year-end edition. "Recipe for top-notch network perimeter security: Take any relatively fast dedicated PC or server with 256mb of RAM or more and turn it into a security gateway appliance within minutes, simply by adding Astaro Security Linux," quotes the review. "After configuring the gateway to meet your networking needs, it will provide antivirus, intrusion detection, spam filtering, firewalling, and content filtering.

Excellent reporting and automated updating complete this well-rounded product."
