TWITTER, FACEBOOK EXPLOITED BY ATTACKERS

Social Engineering Techniques Reach New Levels of Sophistication; Conficker keeps Security on Alert

( Woburn, MA, USA – 4 May, 2009 )

Cyberoam, the innovator of identity-based Unified Threat Management (UTM) solutions, today announced the Q1 2009 email threat report, in collaboration with partner Commtouch. While Conficker worm took the limelight, a key highlight is that attackers have reached new levels of sophistication in their social engineering techniques, using fear, emotion and security loopholes to perpetuate attacks.

Spammers tricked users on Facebook, Myspace, Twitter into divulging personal information. Exploiting users’ fear of finding scandalous images of themselves online, spammers sent wall posts proclaiming that such pictures have surfaced on Facebook. Also used on Facebook were desperate messages from friends supposedly in a financial bind. Users clicking on the link were taken to what looked like the Facebook login page, but actually it was an imposter site collecting usernames and passwords of unknowing users.


Spammers sent direct Twitter messages to users of blog posts and funny photos related to them. Security loopholes on Twitter like the use of TinyURL to replace long URLs with short ones to fit into Twitter’s 140 character limit meant that users did not know where the link led before they clicked.

Vice President-Product Management, Cyberoam, Abhilash Sonwane, said, “Attackers have confirmed once more that they work on both sides of the equation – user and the platform. They play on the emotions of users while exploiting loopholes on the platform being used. Used in combination, it is an effective way to propagate malware. While Cyberoam offers protection from evolving threats, we also recommend user education to effectively contain threats,” he added.

Blended threats created near perfect mirror sites and official looking emails from CNN and the US tax departments. While Google Docs was used to compromise ZDNet, spammers used “borrowed” images from legitimate sites like CBS and Pizza Hut in addition to masking their email addresses to bypass spam filters.

Loan spam jumped from 3% of all spam messages in Q4 2008 to first place, with 28% of all spam messages this quarter, reflecting the global economic situation.

Cyberoam uses the Commtouch RPDTM technology to analyse large volumes of Internet traffic in real-time. Unlike traditional spam filters, it relies not on email content, but on message pattern enabling it to detect spam in any language and message format. Its language and content agnostic nature enables it to provide effective spam blocking capabilities. Cyberoam incorporates RPDTM within its unique Identity-based UTM appliances which show who is doing what in the network and enable the creation of policies based on the username rather than just IP addresses.

CYBEROAM BREAKS NEW GROUND WITH SMALL OFFICE SECURITY

Launches CR15i UTM appliance – High on Security, Low in Price

( Woburn, MA, USA – April 9, 2009 )

Cyberoam, the leading provider of Identity-based Unified Threat Management (UTM) solutions, has launched the CR15i, an all-inclusive security appliance that specifically caters to the business requirements of small offices. The vision behind this product was to achieve an easy-to-use, affordable UTM solution that leaves no gaps in fulfilling the security requirements of offices up to 25 users.

Small offices implementing limited security like a firewall and anti-virus leave themselves exposed to the high volume and range of external and internal threats. Cyberoam’s CR15i identity-based network security appliances deliver comprehensive protection from blended threats that include malware, viruses, spam, phishing, and pharming attacks.


According to Abhilash Sonwane, VP – Product Management, Cyberoam “Although small offices face the same types of threats that enterprises face, they limit themselves to just desktop security or just a gateway firewall.” Adds Mr. Sonwane; “Given their small size, one doesn’t really expect them to spend a lot of money on individual security appliances for each feature. What they require is a comprehensive, easy-to-use and very affordable solution. This is the business vacuum we’ve overcome with CR15i”.

Cyberoam CR15i fulfills this objective of value-for-money with the most complete collection of necessary security features in a single box – Stateful Inspection Firewall, VPN, Gateway Anti-Virus & Anti-Spyware, Gateway Anti-Spam, IPS and Web Content Filtering. Of significance is the fact that these features are available at no extra per user charges. Furthermore, Cyberoam provides Bandwidth Management and Multi-Link Manager with Built-In Load-Balancing and Auto-Failover, at no extra cost making it a Total Bandwidth Management solution while providing Total Security to small offices.

CR15i also furnishes daily user identity-based management reports indicating spam, virus, intrusion and other threat activities, network usage trends and traffic patterns in the network with the user identity. Its bandwidth management feature prevents bandwidth choking by dedicating committed bandwidth to key users in the organization, and preventing heavy bandwidth applications through content filtering.

CR15i can also be used by branch offices of large organizations for easy-to-manage remote office security that remains at par with that of the central office.

Cyberoam invites channel partners to form new partnerships with it and benefit from carrying the small office security solution that is CR15i. Cyberoam is known for its comprehensive partner benefits program that includes training, support, incentives and strong margins.

Cyberoam is the only identity-based security appliance that enables organizations to see who is doing what in the network. Certified by ICSA, CheckMark and VPNC, Cyberoam has its presence in 55 countries and is the recipient of 5 star rating from SC Magazine thrice in a row for its award-winning range of Identity-based UTM appliances.
