Astaro Corporation, a leading Unified Threat Management provider, has announced that Astaro RED, (Remote Ethernet Device) is now available in India.  

Astaro RED combines VPN functionality and complete IT security for branch offices by automatically connecting with a central Astaro Security Gateway. The devices can cut the cost of securing and administering a branch office’s security by up to 80% by eliminating the need for IT staff and additional security products at the remote office. 
 

"We developed Astaro RED as we saw an urgent demand on the market for a solution to secure branch offices that is really easy and reasonably priced", said Gert Hansen, VP Product Management at Astaro.  

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.”  

Upon viewing Astaro RED during a security conference, security industry expert Richard Stiennon stated: "Astaro’s RED box is the single most innovative product I saw [At RSA 2010]. It leverages the investment in security at one location by extending it to many. It is simple and inexpensive."
