Cyberoam, a division of Elitecore Technologies and the leading innovator of identity-based unified threat management (UTM) solutions, today announces that it has received dual certification from the Virtual Private Network Consortium (VPNC) for both Basic and AES Interop, confirming that Cyberoam’s CR Series is interoperable with all other systems in the VPNC testing lab. The VPNC is the international trade association for organizations in the VPN market, globally recognized for its performance standards and dedication to increasing interoperability between members.

Cyberoam’s dual VPNC certification assures partners and customers that its UTM appliances are interoperable in multi-vendor IPSec VPN environments. To achieve certification, the CR Series underwent comprehensive testing to ensure that it was interoperable with all products in the test set. The testing included more than 40 systems, such as IP Sec clients and gateways.

"We are very pleased to have Cyberoam as our newest participant in the VPN interoperability test," said Paul Hoffman, Director of the VPNC. "It is always good to see security companies offer a wide range of interoperable products for different parts of the IT market."

Outside of its IPSec VPN functionality, Cyberoam’s identity-based UTM appliances deliver a robust range of security features such as identity-based firewall, gateway antivirus, gateway anti-spam, intrusion prevention system, and content filtering, in addition to bandwidth management and multiple link management, all over a single platform.

“It has always been our objective to provide our customers with powerful identity-based Unified Threat Management appliances that cost effectively meet their security and mobility demands” said Abhilash Sonwane, Vice President of Product Management, Cyberoam. “The VPNC certification confirms our adherence to meeting and surpassing industry standards by guaranteeing secure and seamless interoperability with other solutions in the VPN market.”
