Elitecore Technologies has introduced advanced version of Cyberoam Unified Threat Management (UTM) appliance with intrusion detection and prevention system (IDPS). This identifies the username in case of internal threats and 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 two-point enhanced IDP value to enterprises,” says Harish Chib, VP-Marketing, Elitecore Technologies. “Although anywhere between 40% to 70 % organizations use IDPS, they are more often than not ignored since they generate a high number of false positives which increase network load and are unmanageable in number.” 

Cyberoam UTM has a multi-policy capability that 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. 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. 

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