Astaro 7.4 Defeats UltraSurf. Competitors like SonicWall have been unable to manage popular SSL tunneling programs like Ultrasurf--portable, adaptive software applications which are used to bypass web security policies. Astaro's Web Security engine has been enhanced to block programs which are used to evade security policies by abusing HTTPS, a common port used for secure web surfing. Scanning HTTPS provides the ability to deny such applications and ensure that network policy will remain intact. Blocking these applications also stops malware that can infect the network via the encrypted protocol, which gives many vendors problems. Read more at Astaro's website
