MCI Consultants, a leading business information systems consulting firm specialising in providing IT solutions to the business community, today announced that it had successfully installed its unified threat management solution, Cyberoam, at Afrizan Personnel, Alpha Coal, Anglorand, Benicon, Megacube, Richies Crane Hire, Sentula Group and Sicad, thus adding to an ever-growing list of clients.
“The security landscape is changing rapidly, and for instance, the number of security threats has exploded exponentially and is already significantly over the 2 000 threats per hour level. In addition, these threats have become very focused, more complex, often hidden in an innocuous 'delivery' vehicle and their originators are now motivated from a financial-reward perspective,” commented Gawie van Rensburg, Partner at MCI Consultants. “Furthermore, these potential attacks may come from internal or external sources.
“As a direct result of this, MCI has deployed Cyberoam, an award-winning unified threat management multifunction firewall, to its customer network,” continued Van Rensburg. “This ICSA-certified Cyberoam firewall provides comprehensive security to all sizes of enterprises, including any remote or branch offices. It offers the most comprehensive enterprise-wide and individual user identity-based reporting with its CR range of appliances, thus eliminating the need to make a separate investment on a reporting solution and its integration.
“The provision, implementation and support of Cyberoam is just another of the many services that are included in the portfolio we offer to our clients,” concluded Van Rensburg.
The ICSA-certified Cyberoam firewall offers the following features:
* Hardware firewall appliance
* Virtual private network (SSL VPN & IPSec)
* Identity-based bandwidth management
* Multiple link load balancing and gateway failover
* Gateway anti-spam
* Intrusion prevention
* Content and application filtering
Cyberoam is a division of Elitecore Technologies, a company whose major investor is the Carlyle Group, one of the world's top private equity companies.
