Dear UBB users,
as you have seen the last 24 months, Astaro has work hard and continously to bring our UTM product ahead of the competion. With the new offerings of Astaro RED, Astaro Web Application Security, Astaro Wireless Security and Astaro Mail Archiving we have already outpaced our competition in terms of innovation speed and we don't plan to stop. [:)]
End of last year we announced Astaro Endpoint Security with the aquisition of CoSoSys, as the next step to fullfill our Asaro Security Wall Strategy.
Beginning of the year, Sophos approach Astaro with the idea to bring the two companies together and merge the award-winning Sophos Endpoint Security with the award-winning Astaro Security Gateway to build the next big thing in Security.
And today, i am proud to announce that this will happen, as we have signed a definitive agreement to be aquired by Sophos.
Together with Sophos we will offer a complete security solution, deliver protection regardless of where the user is, what device they are using, or where the company’s network boundary may lie.
So your big question now might be, what is going to change?
The biggest change is: "The Product will get even better!"
More Features
Sophos own's great technology in many areas like NAC, DLP, Patch Management, Vulnerability Scanning and more, where we now have access to and can integrate into our Security Gateway.
Better Quality
Sophos has one of the best malware engines available and their continous problem free updates through SophosLabs will make our product best in class.
Better Performance
Since Years, we want to further improve the performance of UTM functions, but often were limited as the vendors we license technology from where not always cooperative.
This now will change, as we have direct access to the Experts at sophos to thighter integrate and to improve performance.
Better Support
As a growing company, scalling high quality support is always a challenge, with Sophos expertise and processes in 24x7 support, combined with our support experts, we can deliver a more responsive and better support than ever.
These are also the reason why we are very excited about this, the Astaro Founders and the Astaro Management Team will continue to lead the new Network Security Business within Sophos.
