Press Release Body = Cyberoam Unveils Unique User Identity-based Firewall in UTM

(Ahmedabad, India - 02 August, 2006)

Elitecore technologies, vendor of Cyberoam Unified Threat Management (UTM)
appliances has introduced a unique user identity-based firewall that delivers
consolidated, single-point security in the integrated security appliance.

Three factors form the key to providing comprehensive security without compromising
business flexibility in a UTM. The critical issue is of single point control over
the multiple security solutions. Next are high levels of granularity and complete
ease of use.

Cyberoam solves these three issues through new developments that include user
identity-based firewall, enabling consolidation of multiple security features,
schedule-based access to network components, assignment of application based QoS and
application prioritization & routing for interactive applications like VoIP, in
addition to a browser-based user-friendly installation wizard.

"Faced with multiple solutions in a single box, administrators continue to struggle
with multiple policy creation, forcing them to work with the complexity of managing
individual solutions in a single box," says Harish Chib, VP-Marketing, Cyberoam.
"This defeats the purpose of an integrated security appliance. Cyberoam brings to
administrators the real simplicity of an integrated security appliance by offering a
unified view and single point control over multiple security features."

Cyberoam ensures this through its user-identity based firewall that embeds user
identity in the firewall rule matching criteria unlike traditional firewalls that
allow firewall rule creation based only on source and destination IP addresses.
While eliminating the need for IP addresses as intermediate components to identify
and 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, consolidated
Cyberoam security unit rather than let them function in a disconnected fashion.

This allows administrators to change security policies dynamically while accounting
for user movement - joiner, leaver, rise in hierarchy - through easy to configure
policies.

In a key development that enhances granularity, Cyberoam addresses enterprise need
to offer temporary access rights to users by allowing schedule to be attached to the
firewall rule. "IT administrators can now create temporary rights for one time
access to network components, eliminating the continued existence of such rights
past their requirement," says Chib. "For example, they can create 30 minutes access
to FTP server to the user, John on a particular day at the end of which John will no
longer have access to the server."

Further, Cyberoam offers application-based QoS so that administrators can ensure
high quality in interactive applications like VoIP, video conferencing. They can
even prioritize bandwidth, ranging from 0 to 7 for these applications and can route
it via high speed Internet links out of multiple ISP links, ensuring high quality
interaction.

Thirdly, Cyberoam simplifies the complex task of network configuration with a new
intuitive browser-based user-friendly wizard, which reduces the need for technical
expertise for configuring Cyberoam.

Cyberoam version 9.1.0.0 holds the above features.
