Published September 28th, 2008

Astaro Corporation (www.astaro.com) has announced that research company Frost & Sullivan has presented Astaro with the 2008 Frost & Sullivan North American Technology Innovation of the Year award in the field of virtual private network (VPN) gateway security. Each year, this award is presented to the company that has demonstrated excellence in new products and technologies within its industry.

Astaro’s VPN solution has received the 2008 Technology Innovation Award for the superior performance of its SSL client platform and its ability to adapt to growing enterprise demands. According to Frost & Sullivan, the advantage in Astaro’s technology is that it allows users the ability to access network resources and applications from anywhere on the internet.

“The network security industry is being dominated by ubiquitous web-based VPN security solutions that are browser dependent. These solutions are limited to applications and services that can be seen on a web page,” explains Gaurav Sundararaman, Research Analyst with Frost & Sullivan’s Technical Insights research group. “Astaro’s security expertise and innovative research and development have allowed the company to conquer these VPN challenges.”
