Cyberoam launches CR15i UTM appliance

June 2009 Information Security

Cyberoam has launched the CR15i, an all-inclusive security appliance that specifically caters to the business requirements of small offices. The vision behind this product was to achieve an easy-to-use, affordable UTM solution that leaves no gaps in fulfilling the security requirements of offices up to 25 users.

Small offices implementing limited security like a firewall and anti-virus leave themselves exposed to the high volume and range of external and internal threats. Cyberoam’s CR15i identity-based network security appliances deliver comprehensive protection from blended threats that include malware, viruses, spam, phishing, and pharming attacks.

According to Abhilash Sonwane, VP, product management at Cyberoam “Although small offices face the same types of threats that enterprises face, they limit themselves to just desktop security or just a gateway firewall. Given their small size, one does not really expect them to spend a lot of money on individual security appliances for each feature. What they require is a comprehensive, easy-to-use and very affordable solution. This is the business vacuum we have overcome with CR15i.”

Cyberoam CR15i fulfills this objective of value-for-money with the most complete collection of necessary security features in a single box – stateful inspection firewall, VPN, gateway antivirus and anti-spyware, gateway anti-spam, IPS and Web content filtering. Of significance is the fact that these features are available at no extra per user charges. Furthermore, Cyberoam provides bandwidth management and multilink manager with built-in load-balancing and auto-failover, at no extra cost making it a total bandwidth management solution while providing total security to small offices.

CR15i also furnishes daily user identity-based management reports indicating spam, virus, intrusion and other threat activities, network usage trends and traffic patterns in the network with the user identity. Its bandwidth management feature prevents bandwidth choking by dedicating committed bandwidth to key users in the organisation, and preventing heavy bandwidth applications through content filtering.

CR15i can also be used by branch offices of large organisations for easy-to-manage remote office security that remains at par with that of the central office.

Cyberoam invites channel partners to form new partnerships with it and benefit from carrying the small office security solution that is CR15i. Cyberoam offer comprehensive partner benefits programme that includes training, support, incentives and strong margins.
