As a testament to their commitment to fostering business opportunities for their VAR partners, Cyberoam, a division of Elitecore Technologies and the leading innovator of identity-based unified threat management solutions, today announces the launch of its new Channel Program, which provides qualified partners with the resources and support infrastructure necessary to design and sell advanced identity-based UTM solutions that offer customers integrated Internet security and productivity. Cyberoam will debut the program at the RSA Conference, scheduled for February 5-9, 2007 in San Francisco.

As part of the program the Company is also launching the Cyberoam Authorized Solution Partner Council, a select group comprised of executive, technical and sales/business development personnel representing Cyberoam’s geographic and vertical VAR organizations. The Council will provide partners with the opportunity to directly impact the program from an operational and strategic standpoint, as well as contribute to technical enhancement recommendations gathered from a growing global customer base.

“Cyberoam’s identity-based approach is truly unique in the market. It fulfills the growing need for user based policy enforcement and reporting that my SME customers are demanding,” said Steve Barone, president and CEO of Creative Breakthroughs, Inc. “With the Authorized Solution Partner Council, and the uniqueness of their channel strategy, Cyberoam has designed a program that not only encourages my focused involvement, but provides me with the tools I need to better serve my customers and grow my business."

Transcending the blanket and IP-based policy approach of traditional UTM appliances available in the market today, Cyberoam enables 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.

Cyberoam’s Channel Program provides qualified partners with Market Development Funds (MDF) and co-operative marketing funds to help evangelize the brand in the marketplace; intelligent lead-generation programs; a robust deal registration system and account protection; access to demo gear for customer site evaluation; and, up to date competitive information and SWOT training to help approach competitive selling situations.

“We are 100 percent focused on the channel, and have a strong commitment to the success and growth of our partners, offering significant discount levels and very aggressive margins,” said David Glenn, director of US Channel Sales at Cyberoam. “With more than 200 partners already on board throughout EMEA, APAC and the Middle East, we are focused on ensuring that our partners in North America benefit from the opportunities afforded by our innovative approach to identify-based threat management.”

Cyberoam delivers the complete range of security features such as Identity-based Firewall, VPN, Gateway Antivirus, Gateway Anti-spam, intrusion prevention system, content filtering, in addition to bandwidth management and multiple link management over a single platform.
