| |
| Cyberoam, a leading
provider of identity-based Unified Threat Management (UTM) appliances,
today announced the release of its new firmware with Cyberoam’s Version X
that integrates new powerful features that help realize management
efficiencies and strengthen the existing Cyberoam UTM to offer seamless
security, connectivity and productivity to all industry segments. |
| |
| The most significant
features of Version X include an Extensible Security Architecture (ESA),
Application Layer 7 Management, 3G/WWAN connectivity, security for
HTTPS/SSL traffic, Instant Messaging Archiving & Control, Next-Gen
UI, and IPv6 support. The new Cyberoam firmware GUI is aimed at removing
the clutter from managing Unified Threat Management (UTM) appliances.
The Version X features will enable Cyberoam UTM appliances add speed to
security by enabling identity-based policy control, easy management,
faster reboot time and a much faster GUI access. |

| ”Security needs of an
organization evolve continuously as new technology and security threats
appear with regular frequency.” says Abhilash Sonwane, VP-Product
Management, Cyberoam. He adds, “Cyberoam’s Extensible Security
Architecture offers organizations an extensible security platform that
can grow with their future security needs without degrading system
performance. It keeps them well ahead of security threats by supporting
feature enhancements that can be rapidly developed and deployed with
minimum effort.” |

| |
| Application Layer 7
Management –manages applications based on user, time and
bandwidth to control their availability to users and to offer benefits
of productivity and cost containment by optimizing bandwidth consumed
within the organization. This takes Cyberoam a step ahead of
conventional application layer firewalls that only identify applications
for blocking. |
| |
| 3G/WWAN
Connectivity – offers secure continuous connectivity with
failover and load balancing capabilities |
| |
| Security for
HTTPS/SSL traffic– prevents data leakage over HTTPS/SSL traffic
and stops malware propagation by scanning encrypted traffic. |
| |
| Instant Messaging Archiving
and Control – allows archiving and customized security control over
public IMs making them a cost effective and secure communication
mechanism for the SMBs, which is equivalent to owning a private IM
software. |
| |
| Next-Gen UI –
enables ease of use and secure GUI configuration for better security. |
| |
| IPv6 Ready
– One of the first Unified Threat Management (UTM) Appliances to get
the “IPv6 Ready” Gold logo. |
| |
| Says Sonwane; “The Version X
features makes organizations ready for upcoming technologies like Cloud
Computing and IPv6. Application Layer 7 Bandwidth Management along
with Security over HTTPS provides them assured availability and security
of applications in the cloud. Cyberoam, with its ‘IPv6 Ready” Gold
logo, assures security to organizations for the imminent IPv6
transition.” |
| |
| Although Version X will be
available immediately, some features will be available in a subsequent
release in coming weeks. |
