    Cyberoam Security Assessment Report Prepared for: Alternetivo s.r.o. Delivered on: May 06, 2015 Report Duration: May 05 - May 05, 2015 Cyberoam Security Assessment Report Cyberoam next-generation firewall was used to conduct a quick network risk assessment at Alternetivo s.r.o.. This report aims to provide visibility into potential application and web risks, risky users, intrusion risks and usage of applications within Alternetivo s.r.o.'s network, thereby highlighting security issues that need to be addressed by Alternetivo s.r.o.. This report helps organizations understand capabilities of Cyberoam NGFW to see threats and network usage that their existing Firewalls may not see. Today’s dynamic threat landscape requires organizations to re-consider security at their network perimeter every few years. As a result, the next-generation firewall deployment has begun taking over the mantle of network protection from the last generation of firewalls and security appliances. The truth is, previous generation firewalls are not equipped to identify modern day security threats and do not provide adequate protection, leaving organization networks vulnerable against the tide of new threat vectors and actors. Cyberoam Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW) with Layer 8 Identity-based technology offer actionable security intelligence and controls to enterprises that allow complete control over L2-L8 for future-ready security. Cyberoam NGFW integrates multiple features over a single platform, eliminating the need to manage multiple solutions and hence reduces complexity.
