Astaro Corp. announced its commitment to continue supporting three major Open Source security-related projects — Exiscan, Netfilter, and Super FreeS/WAN. Astaro is the maker of Astaro Security Linux v4, which the company describes as an “all-in-one Internet security software appliance” that combines Firewall/ VPN gateway, anti-spam, URL blocking, content filtering, and virus protection functions.

“By sponsoring these important Linux projects, Astaro is pleased to give back and do its share in supporting this important community,” said Markus Hennig, CTO of Astaro Corp. “We are not only sponsoring these projects financially, but are working close with the project leaders and maintainers to support them in their needs. For example, Astaro is sponsoring conferences and workshops such as the Netfilter developer workshop 2003, in Budapest. Beside these major projects, we work actively within the community on various mailinglists and news sites and of course sending patches and enhancements back. We look forward to continue our sponsoring and support of open source projects.”
