With distribution rights for the Cyberoam products being awarded to a new division of Gsolutions called UTM Africa. The first training courses hosted by UTM Africa took place in the first week of August at the Gsolutions offices in Cape Town.

As part of the business we have setup a permanent 12 person training facility designed specifically for the courses, but that may be used for a diverse range of training in the future.

On the 2nd till the 4th of August the CCNSP (Cyberoam Certified Network Security Professional) training course was conducted. On the 5th and 6th of August the CCNSE (Cyberoam Certified Network Security Expert) training course was conducted.

Aniruddha Mazumder (Rudi), an experienced Cyberoam trainer flew from India to our beautiful city of Cape Town to conduct the Cyberoam certification courses.

Cyberoam is a security solution that keeps your company network fully secure, by using proactive threat management with identity-based controls. The appliances have been designed to meet the needs of almost all businesses and include the following features.Stateful Inspection Firewall.

  • VPN (SSL VPN & IPSec).
  • Gateway Antivirus and Anti-Spyware.
  • Gateway Anti-spam.
  • Intrusion Prevention System (IPS).
  • Content & Application Filtering.
  • Bandwidth Management.
  • Multiple Link Management.
  • Detailed On-Appliance Reporting.

The training was exceptionally successful. The participants gained valuable hands on experience with the product and all who passed the certification are now able to fully deploy the appliances in a real world environment. Here is what one of our attendees had to say:

‘Going on the cyberoam training has been a great  experience and has given me a solid understanding of the product. It was excellently presented and often the presenter went beyond the scope of the course to make sure technicalities are understood correctly. A great well rounded program!!’
