Is your network security device

doing only part of its job?

Today's network security devices

ought to balance Security, Connectivity &

Productivity in your network.

Productivity

An intelligent network makes it easier for users to work together. It lays the ground for easy collaboration among employees,

partners, vendors and customers - enhancing productivity. By implanting technologies like Virtual Private Networks, video-

conferencing, Unified Communications, the cloud and by utilizing business applications like Salesforce and ERP, a reliable network

offers connectivity that enables employees to access critical information and tools leading to increased productivity and ROI.

By playing their roles correctly, network security devices enhance connectivity and productivity in organizations by keeping their

networks secure from threats. However, most of these security devices lack flexibility and granularity in policy making, which

deprives organizations of connectivity and productivity benefits. A peek into a few scenarios will give an understanding on how

organizations are losing out due to an imbalance between Security, Connectivity and Productivity in their networks.

An organization keeps away from extending its network resources to traveling

employees and third-party users like partners, suppliers and customers due to

fear of security breach and complexity of configuring a VPN. This results in

interrupted business operations due to lack of updated information with

traveling employees, suppliers, and partners and delayed service delivery to

customers, bringing huge businss loss.

An organization restricts access to Instant Messengers to ensure data security

and security against IM threats. However, this results in curbing a useful tool for

instant and real-time exchange of information for its employees - affecting their

productivity and work efficiency. It also slows down decision-making and team

work in the organization.

Network security devices that select security and sacrifice connectivity and

productivity in the process, disturb the Security-Connectivity-Productivity

balance and put organizations behind in the race for business growth. A state of

equilibrium among each of the S-C-P elements can bring process optimization

and greater efficiencies to a business.

Scenario 1: Focus on Security over Connectivity

Scenario 2: Focus on Security over Productivity

A Unified Threat Management appliance that integrates multiple security

features on a single platform is better equipped in achieving the S-C-P balance

by bringing together required features on the appliance.

Organizations can achieve a balanced growth with a UTM appliance that offers policy controls over its features to help

achieve security, connectivity and productivity, without compromising any one of them. The UTM should be able to :

Balancing Security, Connectivity and Productivity

�

�

�

Give as much or as little access to their network

resources as they want, based on an employee's

identity and work requirements

Secure their network from unauthorized access through

strong authentication based on combination of-

- User/ Password/ Multi-Factor Authentication

- IP Address

- MAC Id

- Session Id

Have the flexibility to give secure network access to

users, anywhere in the world, anytime

�

�

Control inappropriate use of network resources by

applying user identity-based policies for network

access based on-

- Duration of access

- Schedule of access

- Data transfer limit

- Bandwidth availability

Get identity-based reports for each user's activity in

the network

“Equilibrium among Security-

Connectivity-Productivity elements

can bring process optimization and

greater business efficiency.”

Future Connectivity

Network threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated as blended

threats like malware, intrusion attempts, DDoS attacks and insider

threats like data leakage and loss, identity theft and more are targeting

organizations' networks. Cyberoam UTM's Stateful Inspection Firewall,

IPS and Wi-Fi security features keep the organizational networks

secure even from newly emerging threats.

Protecting sensitive corporate data and preserving customer data

privacy are the foremost needs of most organizations. Cyberoam UTM

stops misuse or unauthorized use of sensitive data moving over emails,

web mail, Instant Messengers and HTTPS/SSL protocol through its

Gateway Anti-Virus & Anti-Spyware, Gateway Anti-Spam and

HTTPS/SSL Content Security features.

Easy set-up of security policies and real-time reporting of network

activities is required to eliminate security lapse due to administrative

loopholes. Cyberoam UTM's Next-Gen GUI and on-appliance reporting

ensures administrative security in organizations.

Network failures or sluggish networks can cripple business operations

and hamper the speed of doing business in organizations, resulting in

financial loss and even loss of business and customers. Cyberoam

UTM's Multiple Link Management and High Availability connectivity

features ensure an immediate failover arrangement for an 'always-on'

network connectivity and high performance of networks.

Constant network availability is critical for efficient performance of

employees, partners and customers. Cyberoam UTM's VPN feature

and support for 3G/WiMAX connectivity offers continuous network

availability through wireless WAN connectivity even in places where

wired connectivity is not available.

To build a robust network, organizations need a timeless security

solution that can provision to accommodate future technologies. As

IPv4 technology gets replaced with IPv6 technology, Cyberoam UTM's

IPv6 Ready Gold logo gives assurance to organizations about its ability

to identify and process IPv6 traffic for uninterrupted Internet services.

Lack of internet access controls can lead to unproductive surfing and

Internet threats whereas rigid Internet access controls take away the

productive use of the Internet from employees. Cyberoam UTM's Web

& Content Filtering and Instant Messaging Archiving & Control features

offer flexible access policies based on user, group, work function, web

categories, duration and time of the day and more, to maximize

employee productivity yet maintain a secure network.

Organizations continue to add bandwidth and still face frustrating

network congestions and interruptions due to lack of bandwidth

management and controls over users, applications and websites.

Cyberoam's Bandwidth Management, Traffic Discovery and

Application Layer 7 Management together ensure optimal use of IT

resources to provide assured QoS of business-critical applications and

services in the network.

GUIs that are difficult to navigate can lead to security errors while

setting up network policies and also demand rigorous training to

administrators. Cyberoam UTM's Next-Gen GUI employs Web2.0

technology advantages to offer easy navigation, custom controls and

an intuitive interface that enhance administrator productivity in

keeping the network secure. It reduces security errors and shortens the

learning curves.
