Biodata offers Astaro Gateway Security firewall for free

June 2009 Information Security

Biodata, the only reseller of the Astaro security products in southern Africa, is offering resellers a never-to-be-repeated offer on the Astaro Security Gateway 120 appliance for small networks.

New and existing resellers can now receive the Astaro Security Gateway 120 appliance free of charge, including trial security keys valid for one month. Should the reseller or their client be interested in the product, but want to spend more time with it, the trial keys can be extended by one additional month.

“Customers who are interested in the product but are unfamiliar with its capabilities, will now be able to take the time out to get to know the product and experience it first hand, without any initial capital outlay,” says Ingrid Reimschüssel, marketing director of Biodata.

But there is more good news for clients wanting to keep the product after the trial period. They do not pay for the hardware, but just have to purchase the software kit at a dramatically reduced price. The software kit includes Gold Maintenance, Secure Web and secure e-mail filtering for one year.

“Resellers who see a potential for the product amongst their clients and are looking to take advantage of this offer, will be offered free workshops, which include sales and technical information, over and above the free take home offer,” adds Reimschüssel.

Securing over 30 000 businesses globally, Astaro Security products protect networks from the endless amount of viruses, spam and hackers that threaten to compromise a network’s security. The products are powerful, easy to manage and secure solutions that assist IT managers in executing the mission critical security functions necessary for optimum network protection.

The Astaro Gateway Security 120 for small networks is best known for its ability to secure e-mail traffic by way of anti spam and anti phishing, dual virus protection and transparent encryption. Its network protection capabilities extend from intrusion prevention to remote and VPN access, as well as traffic shaping. Its filtering of Web access provides users the ability to perform content filtering, take advantage of built in antivirus and spyware, and well as IM and P2P control.

“With this offer we hope to encourage resellers to either try the product out themselves so that they are well acquainted with its capabilities, or to give it to their customers and let them test drive it,” ends Reimschüssel.

The offer is limited until 1 September 2009, whilst stocks last. New and existing resellers should contact Matthew Johnstone at Biodata on +27 (0)11 234 3650 or e-mail: [email protected] for further information and availability.
