Cyberoam, the leading provider of identity-based Unified Threat Management solutions, announced the launch of its new ‘Accelerator Series’ appliances, CR50ia and CR100ia, that combine comprehensive network security with breakthrough network performance for SMEs. With gigabit throughput, the appliances offer almost five times higher firewall throughput and twice the IPS throughput in comparison to the existing models, delivering high security and value for money to SMEs.

As consumption of bandwidth rises to accommodate rapidly rising usage of web tools like SaaS, Web 2.0, IMs and more, organizations expose themselves to serious network security threats. The ‘Accelerator Series’ revolutionize network efficiency by enabling higher levels of identity-based security and high granularity with throughputs that are far superior to competitors. In doing so, they ensure that organizations meet the security challenges thrown up by rapidly growing applications.

Comments Abhilash Sonwane, VP- Product Management, Cyberoam, “The new ‘Accelerator Series’ UTM appliances, CR50ia and CR100ia, add immense value to our SME customer networks by providing accelerated security to their networks with gigabit throughputs and ports. This enables them to protect their networks against new and blended attacks by giving complete user visibility and unprecedented degree of user controls that lead to high flexibility and ease of management.”
