Cyberoam is a unique product in the UTM industry, providing comprehensive identity-based security solution in flexible environment with multiple security features on a single platform. Cyberoam links user identity to security right from authentication to policy setting, controls and reporting.

While linking Identity to security, Cyberoam offers a complete range of features, including identity-based firewall, VPN, gateway anti-virus, gateway anti-spam, intrusion detection and prevention, content filtering, as well as bandwidth management and multiple link management.

It is the only UTM that embeds user identity in firewall rule matching criteria, eliminating IP addresses as intermediate components to identify and control the user. This offers instant visibility and proactive controls over security breaches. Also, this delivers complete security in dynamic IP environments like DHCP and Wi-Fi where the user cannot be identified through IP addresses. In doing so, Cyberoam identifies the user, eliminating anonymity within network unlike IP-address based solutions

Its unique user identity-based approach, offers an unprecedented degree of control, flexibility and ease of management that make a unified solution highly effective by offering a clear view of usage and threat patterns for user identity-based dynamic policy setting. User Identity binds the security features to create a single, consolidated Cyberoam security unit enabling the administrator to change security policies dynamically while accounting for user movement - joiner, leaver, rise in hierarchy and more – through easy to configure policies.

The importance of Cyberoam’s Identity based security assumes even further significance in the face of rising internal threats which accounts for over 50% of the Internet threats faced by businesses today. Since the user is proving to be the weakest link in the security chain today, linking user identity to security is the solution to ensuring high levels of security and to fight against insider threats. Most commonly prevalent security solutions that have existed and have been an integral part of any network periphery are firewall which demarcates the intranet and the Internet boundary. However with the firewall rule, eventually the administrator would get the information based on a machine’s IP address and it is not enough as it sorely lacks in completeness. On top of the IP address, the need of the hour is user’s identification. IP addresses delay identification of the threat point. Effective security is the result of instant identification and immediate corrective action.
