Elitecore technologies, vendor of Cyberoam Unified Threat Management (UTM)appliances has introduced a unique user identity-based firewall that deliversconsolidated, single-point security in the integrated security appliance.
Three factors form the key to providing comprehensive security without compromisingbusiness flexibility in a UTM. The critical issue is of single point control overthe multiple security solutions. Next are high levels of granularity and completeease of use.
Cyberoam solves these three issues through new developments that include useridentity-based firewall, enabling consolidation of multiple security features,schedule-based access to network components, assignment of application based QoS andapplication prioritization & routing for interactive applications like VoIP, inaddition to a browser-based user-friendly installation wizard.
 Faced with multiple solutions in a single box, administrators continue to strugglewith multiple policy creation, forcing them to work with the complexity of managingindividual solutions in a single box, says Harish Chib, VP-Marketing, Cyberoam. This defeats the purpose of an integrated security appliance. Cyberoam brings toadministrators the real simplicity of an integrated security appliance by offering aunified view and single point control over multiple security features.Â
Cyberoam ensures this through its user-identity based firewall that embeds useridentity in the firewall rule matching criteria unlike traditional firewalls thatallow firewall rule creation based only on source and destination IP addresses.While eliminating the need for IP addresses as intermediate components to identifyand control the user, user identity binds all the security features - Firewall, VPN,Anti-virus, Anti-spam, Intrusion Detection and Prevention, Content Filtering,Bandwidth Management and Multiple Link Management - to create a single, consolidatedCyberoam security unit rather than let them function in a disconnected fashion.
This allows administrators to change security policies dynamically while accountingfor user movement - joiner, leaver, rise in hierarchy - through easy to configurepolicies.
In a key development that enhances granularity, Cyberoam addresses enterprise needto offer temporary access rights to users by allowing schedule to be attached to thefirewall rule.  IT administrators can now create temporary rights for one timeaccess to network components, eliminating the continued existence of such rightspast their requirement, says Chib.  For example, they can create 30 minutes accessto FTP server to the user, John on a particular day at the end of which John will nolonger have access to the server.Â
Further, Cyberoam offers application-based QoS so that administrators can ensurehigh quality in interactive applications like VoIP, video conferencing. They caneven prioritize bandwidth, ranging from 0 to 7 for these applications and can routeit via high speed Internet links out of multiple ISP links, ensuring high qualityinteraction.
Thirdly, Cyberoam simplifies the complex task of network configuration with a newintuitive browser-based user-friendly wizard, which reduces the need for technicalexpertise for configuring Cyberoam.
