I'm pleased to announced that Astaro Security Gateway Version 8.100 has been GA-released and is being distributed via our Up2Date infrastructure. The main focus of this release is our Wireless Security products; 8.100 brings official support for our much-sought-after Astaro Access Points to the Version 8 platform. Version 8.100 also introduces more flexibility for Astaro RED deployments, improvements to SMTP profiles and WAN link balancing, and many usability improvements based on your feature submissions and feedback .
We will be there!
Astaro will be present at the CeBIT 2011! We will have the same stand location as last year (Hall 11, Stand B36), so you can find us easily! We are looking forward to having personal discussions with you about your projects. READ MORE

Astaro at Infosecurity.nl in Utrecht, the Netherlands
Together with our distributor Contec, we were showcasing our solutions at this year’s Infosecurity.nl, which took place from 3rd to 4th November. We are very happy as we could welcome so many visitors at our booth and as we had lots of interesting stuff to show and discuss with them. We had a nice little idea to create attention among the Dutch reseller community, sending them empty Astaro Security Gateway boxes in the days before the event, which only contained a note inviting them to come by and get to know what should be in the box.
