Press Release Body = (Ahmedabad. India. 15 December. 2005)
Cyberoam Unified Threat Management appliance announces the introduction of advanced
version of Intrusion Detection and Prevention that identifies the username in case
of internal threats, announced Elitecore Technologies. In addition, it allows
administrators to implement policy-based alerts which reduce false positives and
negatives.

“In addition to one of the largest signature databases, Cyberoam offers a
2-point enhanced IDP value to enterprises,” says Harish Chib, VP-Marketing,
Elitecore Technologies. “IDPs are a perfect case of The Boy Who Cried Wolf.
Although anywhere between 40 to 70 % organizations use intrusion detection systems,
these systems are more often than not ignored since they generate a high number of
false positives which increase network load and are unmanageable in number.”

Firstly, Cyberoam UTM, with its multi-policy capability, allows administrators to
choose different settings according to the threat potential based on signature,
source and destination.

With current solutions, administrators are forced to set a general IDP policy
irrespective of these elements, creating needless noise and more importantly,
blocking false positives. Ultimately, genuine traffic is blocked and administrators
end up relaxing controls, leading to compromised security.

Secondly, Cyberoam’s single sign-on pinpoints the source of internal threats
by the username. In doing so it goes well beyond the current practice of reporting
by IP addresses. According to leading analysts, internal threats are cause for
serious concern. They can lead to loss of confidential information or may consist of
harmful activity involving threat propagation.

Cyberoam takes advantage of the fact that internal threats in contrast to incoming
threats are not anonymous by nature. Cyberoam puts a face to these threats by
identifying the source by the username. This ensures high levels of security even in
Wi-Fi and DHCP environments with dynamic IP allocation.

These enhancements are in tune with Cyberoam’s constant endeavour to deliver
granular controls comparable to those of niche solutions in addition to unique
user-based capabilities in its UTM features.

Cyberoam is the next generation security appliance that provides the complete range
of security features packed into a single solution. With user-based management that
forms the basis of its entire feature list of firewall, VPN, anti-virus, anti-spam,
IDP, content filtering, it provides granular security even over multiple ISP links.

In doing so, Cyberoam provides real-time enterprise protection from emerging threats
like spyware, phishing, pharming, in addition to comprehensive protection against
viruses, worms, Trojans and other attacks. In addition, it allows administrators to
allocate dedicated bandwidth to applications like VoIP.

Cyberoam provides security to more than 500 corporates, educational institutes and
government organizations worldwide.
