Cyberoam measures 'User Threat Quotient' now

AHMEDABAD, INDIA: Cyberoam has introduced User Threat Quotient (UTQ) capability on its Next-Generation Firewall and UTM appliances to help IT security managers easily identify the users posing security and /or legal risks.

With UTQ, Cyberoam extends its own innovation of Layer-8 technology and turns over a new leaf in user-identity focused security. UTQ harnesses information derived out of user’s web traffic to determine risky users.

Studies have proved that users are the weakest link in the security chain and patterns of human behavior can be used to predict and prevent attacks.

Many organizations and security managers are now looking to leverage big data analytics tools to capture early signs of specific user actions or network event patterns that may hint at a possible ongoing attack or anomaly.

“Most security teams struggle with timely detection of risk-prone user behaviour since they remain devoid of required actionable security data. User Threat Quotient (UTQ) from Cyberoam effortlessly profiles suspicious web behavior of network users, helping security teams with actionable inputs and relieving them from having to go through a labyrinth of massive logs,” said Abhilash Sonwane, SVP, Products and Technology, Cyberoam.
