Centralized, Identity-based logging-reporting of multiple devices
(Woburn, MA, USA. 22 September, 2009)
Cyberoam iView, an open source logging and reporting solution was
launched today by Cyberoam, the vendor of Identity-based Unified Threat
Management Solutions. iView is Cyberoam’s contribution to the open
source community and is an appreciation of the principles of sharing
and openness that the community stands for.
Free to download from sourceforge.net, Cyberoam iView delivers
centralized Identity-based logging and reporting of multiple devices
across geographical locations, enabling organizations to meet their
security management and regulatory compliance requirements. In
addition, organizations receive the benefit of flexibility and speed of
development which the open source community brings to them, allowing
them to gain visibility into the entire network activity without having
to make large capital outlays.
Currently, organizations are forced to deploy expensive
logging-reporting solutions or correlate individual logs from multiple
devices like firewalls, anti-virus, anti-spam solutions, intrusion
prevention solutions, proxy servers, routers, operating systems and
more to meet the requirements of regulatory compliance and maintain
high security levels. The market for this segment, popularly known as
Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) is estimated to be 1.3
Billion USD, growing at over 25 % annually.
Says Abhilash Sonwane, Vice-President–Product Management, Cyberoam,
“The internal user is the key factor in an organization’s security
which is why Cyberoam is the only solution that has always given
visibility into “Who is doing What” in the network. With the rise in
insider threats and the consequent rise in security breaches and
regulatory compliance requirements, we saw a broader need for
user-centric reporting beyond Cyberoam’s own UTM security,” he adds.
“Hence, we decided to bring our experience in Identity-based Reporting
to meet organizations’ requirement for logging-reporting from multiple
devices and applications with reduced complexity.”
Cyberoam iView would, initially enable organizations to derive logs and
reports of open source solutions like the Linux Iptables/netfilter
Firewall, the popular open source HTTP proxy Squid and other commercial
UTM firewall solutions also. With the involvement of the open source
community, it aims to add more such popular and widely used network
devices, servers, databases and operating systems rapidly. The solution
offers archiving and meets the legal and investigative requirements of
forensics.
The development community and organizations are free to download
Cyberoam iView from sourceforge.net. Available as open source, the
solution has a ready list of projects which would help organizations,
particularly small and medium enterprises in bringing logging-reporting
over multiple devices and locations over a single, consolidated,
centralized interface, helping them meet the requirements of regulatory
compliance.
