Certifications
Common Criteria EAL4+ Certifications
Cyberoam's firewall technology is EAL4+ certified. EAL4+ certification for a security product such as a Firewall requires in-depth evaluation from an independent third-party test lab and is globally regarded a decisive measure of the quality for security product.[6]
ISO 2000:2011 Certification for Support services
Cyberoam GSMC is global ISO 2000: 2011 certified, for the post sales technical services for its global customers.[7]
Checkmark Certification
The Cyberoam CR Series is UTM Level 5 Checkmark certified.[8]
ICSA Labs Certified Firewall
Cyberoam Firewall is certified by the ICSA Labs Firewall Certification.[9] The ICSA Labs Firewall certification demands required by ICSA Labs, an independent division of Cybertrust, validating Cyberoam’s firewall capabilities in effectively protecting customers’ networks from malicious Internet threats.
IPv6 Ready certification
Cyberoam is ‘IPv6 Ready’ certified, as it can identify and process IPv6 traffic.[10] The IPv6 Ready Logo program driven by the IPv6 Forum is an international testing program that has some 3000 test cases through which a product is rigorously tested.
Identity based Security- Layer 8 Technology
Cyberoam's patented Layer 8 Technology[11] also known as Identity based Security, adds an 8th Layer[12] (HUMAN layer) in the network protocol stack, thereby considering user’s identity as part of the firewall rule matching criteria. Cyberoam attaches user identity to security while authenticating, authorizing & auditing (AAA), the network allowing a network administrator to see and control the ‘user’ on a network instead of just an IP address.[13] This enables the administrators to identify users, control Internet activity of users in the network, set user based policies and reporting by username.
Cyberoam Security Training Academy
Cyberoam Launched a global mission to sign up academies to bridge the demand-supply gap in network security recently called Cyberoam Academy.
In order to propagate knowledge on Identity-based technology among upcoming IT and networking students, Cyberoam has tied up with NESCOT (North East Surrey College of Technology) -its first Master UK Training Academy. NESCOT offers Cyberoam certified security courses which includes basic-level course namely 'CCNSP' (Cyberoam Certified Security Professional)[14] and advanced-level course namely 'CCNSE' (Cyberoam Certified Security Expert).[15]
Cyberoam Threat Research Labs
Cyberoam Threat Research Labs (CTRL) identifies security threats eventually raising resistance against various vulnerabilities such as malware attacks by publishing security upgrades and research reports. Such reports help users remain protected with detailed guidance and malware threat prevention advice using appropriate configuration of parameters on Cyberoam appliances. CTRL goes beyond finding emerging potential threats and aims at providing insightful investigation into how advanced threats are engineered and imagined around today’s internet usage and apps.
Security flaw in HTTPS traffic inspection
A Tor Project researcher and a Google software security engineer revealed in July 2012 that all Cyberoam appliances with SSL traffic inspection capabilities had been using the same self-generated CA certificate by default.[16] This made it possible to intercept traffic from any victim of a Cyberoam device with any other Cyberoam device - or, indeed, to extract the key from the device and import it into other DPI deep packet inspection devices, and use those for interception.[17]
Cyberoam issued an over-the-air (OTA) update for its unified threat management (UTM) appliances[18] in order to force the devices to use unique certificate authority (CA) SSL certificates when intercepting SSL traffic on corporate networks.[19] After the hotfix was applied,[20] each individual appliance was required to have its unique CA certificate.
