UTM 9.1 Public Beta Begins!
I'd like to personally invite you to test the Beta version of the upcoming of our flagship network security platform – Sophos UTM.
ASG 8.308 Up2Date Released
We have started to spread ASG Up2Date 8.308, which finalizes the process for one-touch upgrading to UTM 9 for supported appliances by solving a few issues and polishing the operation across all remaining models. Note that HA/Clustering systems are not yet supported and will unlock at a later date in early 2013. As part of the adjustments, you now need to be at ASG 8.308 to perform the UTM 9 one-touch upgrade, so install this release before attempting, as version 8.306 and 8.307 will not be allowed to upgrade anymore

Monitoring Application Usage on your Network
UTM: Unified Threat Management The FortiGate unit can log and track the traffic used by individual processes and applications, allowing you to better monitor internet usage and determine the source of unwanted traffic.
Secure Wifi Access with FortiGate
With this video, you’re going to learn how to secure your FortiGate unit’s wifi networks, allowing only authorized users to access the network and the web. Securing your network will prevent unwanted traffic, and allow you to monitor and track usage from client devices, by using DHCP to assign each one a unique IP address.
Wired/Wireless Connections with NAT Mode & PPPoE
With this video, you’re going to learn how to connect your FortiGate unit’s internal (wired) and wireless networks to the internet, with NAT Mode using PPPoE. PPPoE is an alternative to DHCP that some ISPs use, that uses a single IP, username and password received from the ISP to allow access to the internet. Your ISP will inform you if PPPoE is required.
Dual Internet connections to your network
With this video, you’re going to learn how to set up your FortiGate unit to receive two simultaneous redundant connections from two Internet Service Providers. Having redundant connections can protect you from outages or traffic overloads, and the FortiGate unit will automatically switch to the second connection if the first fails, and when the first connection is restored it will automatically take over again. If both connections are working properly, they will share the load.
Astaro Security Gateway V7 End-of-Life Reminder

As this date approaches we’d like to provide an update on the options available if you still run this version of our product. If you do not have an ASG V7 installation you are unaffected by this announcement (and following ones) and can disregard it.
You, Us, and the Amazon Cloud
As several customers and partners have expressed their interest in our current Amazon capabilities, I'd like to take the chance to summarize our integration with Amazon and their excellent cloud services. In ASG 8.300, we added two different areas of support with Amazon Web Services (AWS) products; our solution can be run within the Amazon Elastic Computing Cloud (EC2)using a pre-built machine image provided by us, along with a dedicated Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) connector to join your ASG to your VPC with a level of ease never before possible. As a result, you then saw the business case possibilities around using RED appliances and WIFI Access Points for connecting branch offices back to products hosted within Amazon; we have shipped thousands of units in response
