Cyberoam, the leading provider of Identity-aware Unified Threat Management (UTM) range of appliances, announced its formal distribution agreement with Interwork Technologies Inc., a specialist distributor with expertise in VoIP and Data Security technologies. This strategic partnership will allow Cyberoam greater penetration and depth in the North American market and serve the fast-growing business demand for UTM solutions in the region.

Canada-based Interwork Technologies, with its highly knowledgeable and experienced sales team, and a focused approach to data security solutions, will be responsible for distributing Cyberoam’s complete line of UTM appliances ranging from the SOHO to enterprise range.

Ken Lewis, VP Sales & Marketing, Interwork, said, “Interwork is excited to be distributing Cyberoam in Canada and USA. No other SMB/SME UTM product combines all the features that Cyberoam has, such as Total Bandwidth Management and Enterprise Class Anti-Virus, Anti-Spam and URL/Web Content Filtering, at price points starting under US$ 1000. As the only UTM solution for small businesses in our portfolio, Cyberoam holds special significance with its identity-aware security.”

Identity-aware Cyberoam UTM appliances use multicore technology to carry high performance, delivering robust network security with comprehensive control over user activity. By binding the user identity with security, Cyberoam is unique in providing total visibility into the enterprise network. The solution comes with one of the best price/performance ratios in the industry, offering strong business advantage to Interwork Technologies.

Commenting on the new partnership with Interwork, Harish Chib, VP-New Business Development of Cyberoam, said, “The appointment allows us full access to an extremely important market and channel partners for our network security products. We believe that Interwork, with their strong presence in the data security and VOIP domains and focus on a results-oriented marketing program, are very well positioned to educate their VAR channel about the need for total network security & bandwidth management, as well as provide both fulfillment and support of our products to their customers”
