Cyberoam, a leading vendor of Identity-based Unified Threat Management (UTM) solutions, was positioned as a ‘Visionary’ by Gartner in its July 2009 Magic Quadrant for SMB Multifunction Firewalls*. The Magic Quadrant evaluated twelve vendors based on their ability to execute and completeness of vision.

The worldwide SMB multifunction firewall market is forecasted by Gartner to grow at CAGR of 20% to 25% through 2012. In this highly competitive market, according to Gartner Analysts, Adam Hils and Greg Young, "Differentiation comes in the form of integration among security features, licensing flexibility, management console/reporting, and pricing."

“In my opinion, being positioned as a Visionary by Gartner is recognition of our unique identity-based security,” says Hemal Patel, CEO - Elitecore Technologies, the vendor of Cyberoam. “It comes at a time when awareness of insider threats and their subsequent loss to organizations has reached crucial momentum. Cyberoam continues to be the first to address customer’s critical pain points and is committed to offer advanced and high performance security,” he adds.

Cyberoam’s Identity-based network access and control gives visibility into ‘Who is Doing What?’ in the network and controls the individual user activity. Further, its multi-core technology offers high performance and scalability for rapidly growing SMBs. It also offers ease in deployment and operation, meeting the requirements of SMBs who lack dedicated IT resources to manage security.

“Cyberoam has expanded its presence both in terms of product segment and geography. While its expansion into the US and European markets has strengthened its global presence, introduction of the easy-to-manage and cost-effective CR15i solution has enabled it to grow in the SOHO segment,” says Hemal Patel.

ICSA-certified Cyberoam is the first Active-Active High Availability certified firewall too. With CheckMark and VPNC certifications under its belt, Cyberoam has its presence in over 55 countries and is the recipient of 5 star rating from SC Magazine continuously for its award-winning range of Identity-based UTM appliances.
