Cyberoam unveils NetGenie appliance for home and small office Internet users

 

Cyberoam, a division of Elitecore Technologies, has
launched NetGenie, a security product developed in India.

 

The product is available in two different avatars as
NetGenie Wireless router with family protection for homes and as NetGenie
Unified Threat Management appliances for small offices.

 

NetGenie Home will offer a single-click solution for
parents to implement age-wise, easy parental controls ensuring children are
protected from harmful Internet content like pornography and violence.

 

In addition, small offices can put a complete stop to
their employees spending time on non-productive sites using NetGenie’s Internet
controls which allow differing levels of Internet access.

 

NetGenie empowers
both home and small office users to decide how much Internet freedom they want
to give to different users in their network across an entire range of devices
such as desktops, laptops, smartphones, iPads etc.

 

NetGenie also allows schedule-based Internet access over
various website categories and applications for different users. NetGenie’s
security features like firewall, Intrusion Prevention System and in-built
Anti-Virus offer strong Internet security the moment the appliance is turned
on.

 

This also obviates the need to separately purchase and
deploy these solutions, saving users the hassle in configuring them each and
everytime for newly arriving computing devices. For small offices, there is the
added benefit of an in-built IPSec VPN feature which allows secure remote
access to vendor offices or a central office. 

 

NetGenie is a pioneering solution for families and small
office users that aims to enable safe Internet usage, usher in productivity and
offer advanced threat protection. Our global consumer survey presents a strong
case for the need of such a product among home users: parents are increasingly
being concerned about kids having unfiltered access to unsafe Internet content,
befriending strangers online, unlimited social networking, chat and online
gaming sessions etc. Keeping all this in mind and the current threat landscape,
we at Cyberoamwanted to offer our consumers a permanent and easy
solution for all their cyber worries,” said Hemal Patel, CEO, Elitecore
Technologies,   

 

NetGenie integrates Wi-Fi access point, security,
advanced Internet controls, 3G readiness, and more in a single appliance,
helping end users save costs by avoiding maintenance of separate solutions.

 

NetGenie’s user-wise Internet activity reports addresses
the discomfort of most parents who need to physically monitor Internet
activities of their children, eliminating the need to intrude on their Internet
sessions.

 

NetGenie protects all computing devices in the network
like desktops, laptops, tablets, smartphones, and more, from Internet threats
including viruses, intruders and hackers. The product will be available across
the globe through Cyberoam partners and going forward at retail outlets in
different countries.
