Cyberoam Security appliances pack ammunition against emerging threats

July 2008 by Marc Jacob

Cyberoam, a division of Elitecore Technologies, and a provider
of Identity-based Unified Threat Management appliances, announced the availability of advanced network security with the latest version of Cyberoam firmware.

With the current enhancements, Cyberoam offers greater control over user
surfing through HTTPS URL filtering and increase in the web database
categories to reflect emerging surfing trends. Further, it prevents data
leakage and meets regulatory compliance requirements through reporting
of HTTP uploads, detection of phone home spyware and multiple syslog
server support.

HTTPS URL Filtering - Control over surfing through Web-based Proxies
Cyberoam’s HTTPS URL Filtering blocks web-based proxies and malicious
websites hosted over SSL by categorising the domain names in its site
database.

Through Cyberoam, businesses and educational institutions will now be
able to block access to unauthorised websites hosted over SSL,
protecting them from risks of failing regulatory compliance, data
leakage, spread of malicious content and unproductive downloads through
web-based proxy sites and applications.

Content Filtering Enhanced with 82+ categories
Web usage trends show a significant rise in traffic to radio and TV
content online in addition to download of software and other utilities
for mobile phones. Cyberoam’s Content Filtering has now added new URL
categories, making it one of the most comprehensive category databases
with 82+ categories to control access to emerging unproductive sites.
This offers greater granular control to businesses, allowing them to
control user access to newly added categories like ’AudioSearch’ that
blocks audio search, ’Internet/Radio/TV’ that blocks websites which
broadcast TV or Radio communication over the Internet,
’MobileEntertainment’ that blocks download of software and other
utilities for mobile phones, and many others.

Visibility of Documents Uploaded Over HTTP - Preventing Data Leakage
Unchecked HTTP uploads by employees significantly contributes to data
loss incidents that have reached 150 million since 2005. In addition to
its existing ability to block upload of documents over HTTP, Cyberoam
now reports filenames uploaded via webmail attachments or to storage
sites. In doing so, it offers enhanced protection to businesses against
data loss and leakage.

Another enhancement is the detection and prevention of phone home
spyware by Cyberoam IPS, preventing spyware in the network from sending
out sensitive data. It also gives details of the infected PC with user
and the spyware application name, allowing businesses to take instant
corrective action.
