Cyberoam, the industry leading identity-based Unified Threat Management (UTM) range of appliances from Elitecore Technologies, today announced it has selected value-adding distributor, INUIT to join its partner program and push forward penetration into the Swedish market. In line with the company's aggressive growth focus towards European operations over the next few months, the partnership is another step toward further extending its success across the region.

Cyberoam, with its patent pending Identity based technology, is one of the fastest growing network security vendors across the globe. It is the only IT security UTM Vendor that enables enterprises to get complete visibility into their user activities in the network. Cyberoam UTM has a range of appliances that suit requirements of SOHO, SMEs & Large Enterprises.

Inuit will offer the full range of Cyberoam products through its network of value adding resellers and system integrators, which scales SMB, high-end enterprise and key vertical markets. This extends Inuit's portfolio in the security market, and will be supported by its distribution philosophy of supporting advanced in-house technical knowledge, pre/post sales support and other value adding services.

In contrast to IPSec VPNs which require client installation on user devices, Cyberoam SSL VPN offers web-based and client-based access, allowing secure access to internal applications through any endpoint device from any location, by any authorized person. It achieves this by focusing on the ‘user’ and not the ‘device’ for authentication. The real benefit from Cyberoam SSL VPN is that it is platform, device and location-independent. Further, it ensures that corporate firewalls do not block remote access, ensuring business continuity.

Commenting on the partnership, Mr. Harish Chib, VP New Business Development, Cyberoam said, "We require high-quality, value-based distribution, and Inuit is committed to providing it to us. Working closely with Inuit will enable us to extend our reach to new solution providers across all our key market segments as we focus on value-add partners to fully address the rapidly growing UTM market across the Sweden."

Excited with the tie-up Mr. Thorir Eggertsson, President, Inuit said, "Inuit has always believed in adopting 'Simple and Smarter' products, in our portfolio. Cyberoam UTM, with its innovative identity based technology, is having an edge over other security solutions. Cyberoam also completes our existing portfolio and gives us the possibility to extend our customers with a complete network security solution that fits every size & budget. We are confident that this partnership has a great future"
