Astaro ships IT security for Indian branch offices

NEW DELHI, INDIA: Astaro Corporation, a Unified Threat Management provider, today, announced that Astaro RED, (Remote Ethernet Device) is now available in India.

Sunil Sapra, Country Manager — India/ SAARC, said, “Given the fact that there is an enormous growth in SMEs, branch offices and remote offices in India, Astaro RED poses to be huge potential to protect them from various external and internal threats.”

“ From the partners’ perspective, this is a great opportunity for them to strengthen their top line. As a company, Astaro will enable them in the process of sales and support also,” he added.

Astaro RED combines VPN functionality and complete IT security for branch offices by automatically connecting with a central Astaro Security Gateway, said a press release.

The devices can cut the cost of securing and administering a branch office’s security by eliminating the need for IT staff and additional security products at the remote office. Astaro RED is designed to secure remote offices of all sizes. Because the devices are managed through the central office using an Astaro Security Gateway, no training, licensing or technical expertise is required at the remote location in order to secure the branch office.

Additionally, security policy and configuration changes made at the central office can be pushed to the remote sites without any technical involvement at the branch office. This means organizations can affordably secure and manage the security for even the smallest branch office, the release added.
