MCI Consultants, a leading provider of software solutions to the financial services and staffing industries, today announced that it has been awarded Gold partner status by Cyberoam, an identity-based provider of network security products, including unified threat management (UTM) solutions.
"Threats emanating from the Internet, regardless of whether they are coming from internal or external sources, are increasing at an alarming rate," commented Gawie Van Rensburg, Business Partner of MCI Consultants. "This is a major issue for many of our clients and hence our decision to include Cyberoam as one of the solutions within our software and services portfolio, thus becoming a Gold Partner of Cyberoam, in this regard, was the 'cherry on the top'."
"We now have a number of installations that utilise Cyberoam's UTM multifunctional firewall as part of their network," continued Van Rensburg, "with the latest two implementations being at Hendler & Hart and Rosnovanu and Associates."
Cyberoam identity-based UTM appliances offer comprehensive protection against existing and emerging Internet threats, including viruses, worms, Trojans, spyware, phishing, pharming and more.
Cyberoam UTM delivers the complete range of security features such as stateful inspection firewall, VPN, gateway anti-virus, gateway anti-malware, gateway anti-spam, intrusion prevention system, content filtering in addition to bandwidth management and multiple link management over a single platform.
Cyberoam UTM has recently upgraded its features offerings with the launch of Version X firmware that includes Application Layer 7 Management, IM Archiving and Control, 3G/WiMax support, Extensible Security Architecture, Next-Generation UI and 'IVv6 Ready' Gold Logo. Recently it was positioned as a 'Visionary' by Gartner in its Magic Quadrant for SME Multifunction Firewalls.
"The provision, implementation and support of Cyberoam is just another of the ever-growing services portfolio that we offer to our clients," concluded Van Rensburg.
Excited on the appointment of MCI as Cyberoam's Gold Partner, Alkesh Soneji Country Manager for Cyberoam South Africa, added: "Being a channel orientated company, we have a well designed partner programme in place. After analysing the experience, dedication and potential of MCI, we appointed them as our Gold Partner. As a Gold Partner, they can provide great level of technical consultation to their customers. They have Cyberoam Certified Engineers in their team who are thorough in identity-based technology."
