Cyberoam Extends its Layer-8 Technology Innovation; Brings User Threat Quotient to Spot Risky Network Users at a Glance

February 8, 2015 flashnewsrelease Leave a comment

Cyberoam has introduced a unique capability – User Threat Quotient (UTQ) – to help IT security managers identify users posing security risks with ease.

Edison, NJ (USA), February 07th, 2015 — Cyberoam, a leading global provider of network security appliances has introduced a unique capability – User Threat Quotient (UTQ) – to help IT security managers identify users posing security risks with ease. With UTQ, Cyberoam extends its own innovation of Layer-8 technology and turns over a new leaf in user-identity focused security. Available on Cyberoam’s Next-Generation Firewall and UTM appliances, UTQ harnesses information derived out of user’s web traffic to determine risky users that pose security and / or legal risks.

Studies have proved that users are the weakest link in the security chain and patterns of human behavior can be used to predict and prevent attacks. Said Mr. Abhilash Sonwane, SVP, Products and Technology, Cyberoam, “Enterprise networks generate lots of data with ample clues into user-triggered events, but the information remains incomprehensible and correlating data from various logs and reports takes time and special skills, and is subject to the risk of human oversight.”

Given this scenario, a security manager wishing for a science fiction-like capability to preempt and mitigate threats shouldn’t come as a surprise. The ongoing paradigm shift towards pre-emptive security shares some signs of such capabilities. Many organizations and security managers are leveraging big data analytics tools to capture early signs of specific user actions or network event patterns that may hint at a possible ongoing attack or anomaly.

Commenting further, Mr. Sonwane added, “Most security teams struggle with timely detection of risk-prone user behaviour since they remain devoid of required actionable security data. User Threat Quotient (UTQ) from Cyberoam effortlessly profiles suspicious web behavior of network users, helping security teams with actionable inputs and relieving them from having to go through a labyrinth of massive logs.”

The User Threat Quotient (UTQ) studies the web behavior of users by analyzing massive data of allowed and denied web traffic for web categories like IP Address, P2P, Phishing and Fraud, Porn, Spam URL, Spyware, URL Translation Sites and more that pose security and legal risks.

The User Threat Quotient helps CSOs / IT security managers by:

1. Spotting risky users based on their web behavior at a glance without manual efforts
2. Removing complexity in analyzing terabytes of logs to identify suspicious or risk-prone user behavior
3. Eliminating the need for SMBs to invest in separate SIEM tools to spot risky users
4. Enabling investigation into the spread of risk within the network
5. Facilitating corrective actions to fine-tune user policies

Winds of change in IT and network security clearly indicate a growing need to focus on internal threats or risks from users. As a result, many CXOs now identify analytics and actionable security as a key investment area besides cloud, virtualization and mobility, to leverage security analysis that enable faster decision making. Extending its own innovation of Layer-8 identity-security with UTQ, Cyberoam continues to bridge the gaps where many security paradigms fall short in combating insider threats and user-triggered risks.

About Cyberoam Technologies Limited:
Cyberoam Technologies, a Sophos Company, is a global Network Security appliances provider, offering future-ready security solutions to physical and virtual networks in organizations with its Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) and Unified Threat Management (UTM) appliances.

SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller for BMW Z4 Roadster and Mini Convertible Now Available with Ultra Plug-and-Play Wiring Adapter

January 26, 2015 flashnewsrelease Leave a comment

The retrofit SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller for BMW Z4 Roadster and Mini Convertible now ships with a custom designed Ultra Plug-and-Play wiring adapter. It guarantees a very quick and simple installation. The SmartTOP itself makes it possible to operate the convertible top while driving and from the original factory remote fob.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), January 26th, 2015 — Aftermarket automotive electronics specialist Mods4cars has greatly improved the wiring adapter which ships with the SmartTOP kit for BMW Z4 (E85) and Mini Convertibles (R52). The retrofit module now comes bundled with an Ultra Plug-and-Play adapter. This new, custom designed part makes installation of the kit and connecting the module to the vehicle electronics extremely easy by simply connecting two plugs. Original OEM connectors guarantee a tight and secure fit.

“We are happy to announce availability of this new wiring adapter which will be included with our SmartTOP kits for BMW Z4 Roadster and Mini Convertible, effective immediately.”, says PR-Manager Sven Tornow. “In order to install the module, all that one needs to do is connect two plugs. It is no longer necessary to handle single wires or crimp contacts.” Sven Tornow continues. “This now makes it possible for anyone with minimal knowledge to install the kit and enjoy the benefits of the SmartTOP module.”, he explains.

With the SmartTOP module installed it is possible to open and close the top while driving at slow speeds of up to 40km/h (~28mph). Thanks to the integrated one-touch operation, the switch does no longer have to be held down. Both hands can return to the steering wheel immediately.

Additionally the top can be controlled from the existing key fob remote. “On hot days our customers can already open their top while still approaching the car.” says Sven Tornow. “And in cases where the car is left parked with the top down, it can be closed remotely at the first sign of rain.”, he concludes. No changes are necessary to the car keys or receiver system.

The module comes with a host of bonus features, all of which can be configured individually: The windows can be controlled separately from the top (Z4). All windows can be opened and closed using one-touch convenience from the console switch. An extended mode even allows the engine to be started or stopped while top operation continues. The entire module can be temporarily deactivated while retaining all user settings for when it is reactivated.

Additionally to adjusting the settings in the car, it is also possible to configure the SmartTOP module with a Mac or PC at home. A standard USB port is present on all Mods4cars products. This port also allows end users to install firmware updates which are available online and free of charge.

SmartTOP Convertible Top kits are available for the following popular brands: Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Jaguar, Lamborghini, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volvo and VW.

The kit for BMW Z4 Roadster and Mini Convertible is available for 209 Euros + tax.

About Mods4cars:
Mods4cars was founded in 2002 with the idea to add a highly demanded feature to the otherwise almost perfect Porsche Boxster: Comfort One-Touch roof operation while driving at slow speeds. The resulting product offered not only that, but also allowed quick and easy installation by just swapping out a relay box, thus leaving no traces and no permanent changes on the vehicle. The first SmartTOP roof controller was born.

The success of their first products in Germany and Europe prompted them in late 2004 to move operations to the USA, to be able to serve the American market as well as all other English speaking countries such as Australia, UK and South Africa from one central location. Their business has grown to a full-fledged international corporation with an office in Las Vegas and a full line of innovative products as well as distributors and installation partners all over the globe.

Being highly specialized in the development and distribution of aftermarket roof- and comfort controllers since 2002 allows them to offer an unsurpassed level of competence and product quality. Their main goal is optimization of each individual product to a maximum in compatibility, usability and intuitive operation. They put greatest effort into development and quality checks of all their products to achieve this goal and meet all expectations of their customers.

The extraordinary success of their products is also based on the great communication with their customers, which usually already starts for each new product during the development and prototyping phase.

Says Mr. Abhilash Sonwane, SVP – Products & Technology, Cyberoam: “We moved many notches up in offering high-performance security at the time of launching our NG Series security appliances. With CyberoamOS 10.6.2, we have touched even higher scales by further leveraging the fast path technology over Cyberoam’s multi-core platform. Our new performance breakthroughs will help Cyberoam customers boost network security performance without changing their existing hardware.”

The higher performance and faster throughputs coming with CyberoamOS 10.6.2 will offer Cyberoam customers maximum protection out of Cyberoam security features (firewall, IPS, AV, UTM). The enhancements in CyberoamOS 10.6.2 also offer following new functionalities to customers on their security appliances:

User Threat Quotient (UTQ): Available as a report, UTQ harnesses information derived out of web traffic and offers patterns of user behavior to determine risky users in a network. UTQ is available on Cyberoam’s Next-Generation Firewall and UTM appliances.

Application Visibility and Control for Micro Apps: Provides deep-scanning for HTTPS based applications, allowing granular control over various micro-apps within the larger app ecosystems such as Facebook, Google and the like.

Among other key features becoming available include Radius Single-Sign-On (RSSO), IPv6 Traffic Load-balancing support in HA, Secure SMTP and availability of Discover Mode (popularly called TAP mode) that makes PoC evaluation of Cyberoam security appliances simpler, easier and faster.

Cyberoam continues to invest and focus on product innovation and development with important releases and updates to ensure continued success for its customers and partners. Staying steadfast in its product strategy, Cyberoam is committed to deliver the highest competitive advantage that its technology has, to yield the best possible combination of performance and price.
