QUICK Q & A
 Abhilash Sonwane, SVP of product management, Cyberoam | What technology do you see as being the most significant over the next five years? As threats become more sophisticated and workplace data leaks grow more prevalent, today’s security solutions including conventional technologies like firewalls, IDS systems, and virtual private networks struggle to keep up. In this age of increasingly sophisticated blended threats, security gear for an organisation is required to analyse network and content-based traffic at the gateway. It’s only with unified threat management (UTM) appliances that an organisation can address their concerns of advanced threat protection. According to Frost & Sullivan, the concept of UTM is witnessing growing appeal due to two primary factors: reduction of total cost of ownership and reduced complexity. There are enough reasons to believe that businesses of all sizes are trying to replace legacy or outdated point security solutions such as anti-malware gateways, routers and firewalls with unified UTM solutions. The reasons for this are the possibility to have one single source of support, one device to worry about and truly unified controls in every security aspect of the organisation. What keeps you up at night? Addressing existing and emerging challenges in network security keeps Cyberoam up at night. We have a worldwide installation base in 110+ countries, and our Unified Threat Management (UTM) solutions solve the network security requirements of organisations across different verticals: manufacturing, IT, retail, BFSI, education, Government and more. For instance, our customers in Europe and Germany wanted a solution for legally compliant logging, reporting and archiving. In these countries, it is important that an organisation follows all obligations for keeping relevant information archived and accessible all the time. |
