Cyberoam partners with Latitude Systems for sale of unified threat management appliances in Middle East

The partnership enables Latitude Systems to drive Cyberoam appliance sales, offering integrated Internet network security to enterprises of all sizes.

Latitude Systems' appointment marks the beginning of Cyberoam's channel partner network in the Middle-East and African regions. Cyberoam appliances offer Internet- network security to enterprises of all sizes with a complete set of security features that include an identity-based firewall, VPN, anti-virus, anti-spam, content filtering, intrusion detection and prevention, bandwidth management and multiple link management on a single platform.

"The addition of Cyberoam to our product portfolio is driven by its ability to offer security based on threat evolution rather than pure feature-based security," says Dhiren Harchandani, Chief Operations Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Latitude Systems. "Internal and external threats are key business concerns for Enterprises. Cyberoam's effective security against next generation threats through its identity-based security offers a distinct advantage in offering proactive defense against these threats."

Armed with unique identity-based security that offers instant recognition of user identity and allowing user identity-based management and control, Cyberoam is the only solution that offers comprehensive security in DHCP and Wi-Fi environments. In addition, it removes the complexity in static environments, by removing IP addresses as intermediate components in enterprise security. Cyberoam takes into account the increasingly user-targeted external threats as well as the rise in internal threats, which account for a significant share in enterprise threats.

"Latitude Systems' wide presence in the region forms a key element of our Middle-East strategy," says Harish Chib, VP-Marketing who heads EMEA. "Latitude Systems brings to us their experience in the security arena and deep understanding of the Middle-East region. We are targeting 1 Million US$ revenue of Cyberoam from the UAE Security Market. The strong demand for UTM appliances in the Middle-East region will drive our movement and we expect to gain a strong foothold in the region through the partnership."
