This whitepaper introduces you to Cyberoam UTM's patent-pending Layer 8 technology. It treats user identity as the 8th Layer or the human layer in the network protocol stack, enabling organizations to overcome the limitations of conventional UTMs/firewalls which bind security to IP addresses alone. By implementing Layer 8 security in their networks, administrators can gain real-time visibility into the online activity of users while creating security policies based on their usernames.
