Cyberoam, a division of Elitecore Technologies and the leading innovator of identity-based unified threat management (UTM) solutions, today announced it will license spam-Defense technology from Commtouch (NASDAQ: CTCH), integrating Commtouch Recurrent Pattern Detection(TM) (RPD) solutions into Cyberoam's UTM solutions.

Through an OEM agreement, this partnership will enable Cyberoam's customer base to protect their networks against the mass distribution of spam, including image spam and phishing mail detection. The solution will be available in the upcoming version release of Cyberoam to be launched during this month.

Cyberoam has chosen Commtouch for its advanced real-time detection and blocking capability, which is unmatched in the industry. Because most attacks last only a few hours and involve the release of tens of millions of e-mails containing malicious content or spam, the ability to detect malicious activity in real-time is vital to combating threats. In addition, Commtouch’s patented RPD technology is language and content-agnostic, making it adaptive to new methods and activity by malicious hackers and sophisticated spammers.

“Spam and Malware developers are becoming more sophisticated, so it's important for organizations to be able to protect their network against emerging threats in real-time,” said Ronni Zehavi, Vice President of Business Development of Commtouch. “E-mail threats, such as phishing and pharming, have become prevalent challenges for organizations over the last few years, leaving the market open for solutions that can stop massive spam threats from entering users’ inboxes. This capability, coupled with Cyberoam’s identity-based UTM solution, is expected to provide customers with a robust solution that effectively and efficiently addresses this critical business and security need.”

Cyberoam will leverage Commtouch RPD's Real-Time Detection Center, which analyzes large volumes of Internet traffic in real time, and identifies new spam, virus and phishing outbreaks based on their characteristic mass distribution pattern so emerging outbreaks are identified moments after they are introduced into the Internet. Engines query the Commtouch Center to receive message classification in real-time, resulting in instant protection for users from new outbreaks - far ahead of signatures or software update.

“Organizations need a cost-effective yet strong solution that addresses a variety of Internet security threats, such as spam, spyware and phishing, without impeding productivity,” said Abhilash Sonwane, Vice President of Product Management for Cyberoam. “Commtouch RPD is the perfect extension to our identity-based UTM solutions, as its proven technology evaluates all types of emerging spam in real-time. We’re very excited to pass this powerful capability along to our customers, allowing them to meet both security and compliance demands.”

Its ability to proactively analyze vast amounts of traffic in real-time through its patented RPD technology allows Commtouch to offer strong protection. The technology, based on the identification and classification of message patterns, delivers the highest threat detection capabilities with almost no cases of false positives.

Cyberoam transcends the blanket and IP-based policy approach of traditional UTM appliances available in the market today by enabling users to track activity and set user-based policies – a unique differentiator that will open doors for partners and enable them to grow their business in compliance-related markets. The Company delivers the complete range of security features such as identity-based firewall, VPN, gateway Antivirus, gateway Anti-spam, intrusion prevention system, and content filtering, in addition to bandwidth management and multiple link management over a single platform. Cyberoam UTM appliances offer integrated Internet security to over 1,000 enterprises globally, including corporations, educational institutions and government organizations.
