Firewall
A firewall protects the network from unauthorized access and typically guards the LAN and DMZ networks against malicious access; however, firewalls may also be configured to limit the access to harmful sites for LAN users.
The responsibility of firewall is to grant access from Internet to DMZ or Service Network according to the Rules and Policies configured. It also keeps watch on state of connection and denies any traffic that is out of connection state.
Firewall rules control traffic passing through the Cyberoam. Depending on the instruction in the rule, Cyberoam decides on how to process the access request. When Cyberoam receives the request, it checks for the source address, destination address and the services and tries to match with the firewall rule. If Identity match is also specified then firewall will search in the Live Users
Connections for the Identity check. If Identity (User) found in the Live User Connections and all other matching criteria fulfills then action specified in the rule will be applied. Action can be allow or deny.
If Action is ‘Allow’ then each rule can be further configured to apply source or destination NATting
(Network Address Translation). You can also apply different protection settings to the traffic controlled by firewall:
• Enable load balancing between multiple links
• Configure antivirus protection and spam filtering for SMTP, IMAP, POP3, and HTTP traffic. To apply antivirus protection and spam filtering, you need to subscribe for Gateway Anti Virus and
Gateway Anti Spam modules individually. Refer to Licensing section for details.
• Implement Intrusion detection and prevention. To apply IDP policy you need to subscribe for
Intrusion Detection and Prevention module. Refer to Licensing section for details.
• Configure content filtering policies. To apply content filtering you need to subscribe for Web and
Application Filter module. Refer to Licensing section for details.
• Apply bandwidth policy restriction
By default, Cyberoam blocks any traffic to LAN.
•
•
•
•
•
Default Firewall rules
At the time of deployment, Cyberoam allows to define one of the following Internet Access policies using Network Configuration Wizard:
• General Internet policy
• Strict Internet policy
Depending on the Internet Access policy set through Network Configuration Wizard, Cyberoam
Cyberoam Central Console User Guide defines the two default firewall rules as follows:
Monitor only (Cyberoam applies the firewall rules in the order as specified below)
1. Masquerade and Allow entire LAN to WAN traffic for all the authenticated users after applying following policies:
Internet Access policy – User specific
Bandwidth policy – User specific
Anti Virus & Anti Spam policy – Allows SMTP, POP3, IMAP and HTTP traffic without scanning
2. Masquerade and Allow entire LAN to WAN traffic for all the users without scanning SMTP,
POP3, IMAP and HTTP traffic
General Internet policy (Cyberoam applies the firewall rules in the order as specified below)
1. Masquerade and Allow entire LAN to WAN traffic for all the authenticated users after applying following policies:
Internet Access policy – User specific
Bandwidth policy – User specific
Anti Virus & Anti Spam policy - Scan SMTP, POP3, IMAP and HTTP traffic
2. Masquerade and Allow entire LAN to WAN traffic for all the users after applying following policies:
Internet Access policy – Applies ‘General Corporate Policy’ to block Porn, Nudity,
AdultContent, URL TranslationSites, Drugs, CrimeandSuicide, Gambling,
MilitancyandExtremist, PhishingandFraud, Violence, Weapons categories
IDP – General policy
Anti Virus & Anti Spam policy - Scan SMTP, POP3, IMAP and HTTP traffic
Strict Internet policy (Cyberoam applies the firewall rules in the order as specified below)
1. Masquerade and Allow entire LAN to WAN traffic for all the authenticated users after applying following policies:
Internet Access policy – User specific
Bandwidth policy – User specific
IDP – General policy
Anti Virus & Anti Spam policy - Scan SMTP, POP3, IMAP and HTTP traffic
2. Drop entire LAN to WAN traffic for all the users
Default Firewall rules can be modified as per the requirement but cannot be deleted
IDP policy will not be effective until Intrusion Detection and Prevention
(IDP) module is subscribed
Virus and Spam policy will not be effective until Gateway Anti Virus and
Gateway Anti-spam modules are subscribed respectively
If Internet Access Policy is not set through Network Configuration Wizard at the time of deployment, the entire traffic is dropped
Additional firewall rules can be defined to extend or override the default rules. For example, rules can be created that block certain types of traffic such as FTP from the LAN to the WAN, or allow certain types of traffic from specific WAN hosts to specific LAN hosts, or restrict use of certain
Cyberoam Central Console User Guide protocols such as Telnet to authorized users on the LAN.
Custom rules evaluate network traffic source IP addresses, destination IP addresses, User, IP protocol types, and compare the information to access rules created on the Cyberoam appliance.
Custom rules take precedence, and override the default Cyberoam firewall rules.
Create Firewall Rule
Use to
•
•
Previous versions allowed creating firewall rules based on source and destination IP addresses and services but now Cyberoam’s Identity based firewall allows to create firewall rules embedding user identity into the firewall rule matching criteria.
Firewall rule matching criteria now includes:
• Source and Destination Zone and Host
• User
• Service
Following Unified Threat Control policies can be attached to the firewall rule as per the defined matching criteria:
• Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDP)
To create a firewall rule, you should:
• Define matching criteria
• Associate action to the matching criteria
• Attach the threat management policies
For example, now you can:
• Restrict the bandwidth usage to 256kb for the user John every time he logs on from the IP
192.168.2.22
• Restrict the bandwidth usage to 1024kb for the user Mac if he logs on in working hours from the
IP 192.168.2.22
Processing of firewall rules is top downwards and the first suitable rule found is applied.
Hence, while adding multiple rules, it is necessary to put specific rules before general rules.
Otherwise, a general rule might allow a packet that you specifically have a rule written to deny later in the list. When a packet matches the rule, the packet is immediately dropped or forwarded without being tested by the rest of the rules in the list.

Categories
Cyberoam’s content filtering capabilities prevent Internet users from accessing non-productive or objectionable websites that take valuable system resources from your network at the same time prevents hackers and viruses that can gain access to your network through their Internet connections.
Cyberoam lets you prevent Internet users from accessing URLs that contain content the company finds objectionable. Cyberoam’s Categories Database contains categories covering Web page subject matter as diverse as adult material, astrology, games, job search, and weapons. It is organized into general categories, many of which contain collections of related Internet sites with specific content focus. In other words, database is a collection of site/host names that are assigned a category based on the major theme or content of the site.
Categories Database consists of three types of categories:
Web Category – Grouping of Domains & Keywords
File Types – Grouping of File extensions
Application Protocol – Grouping of protocols
Apart from the default Categories provided by Cyberoam, custom category can be created and edited at any time. Adding category gives you increased flexibility in managing Internet access for your organization. Once a new category is created, it must be added to a policy so that Cyberoam knows when to enforce it and for which groups/users.

Policies
Cyberoam allows controlling access to various resources with the help of Policy. These policies can be created and applied to Cyberoam from Cyberoam Central Control.
Types of policies:
1. Control web access by defining Internet Access policy. (See
Internet Access policy for more
details)
2. Allocate and restrict the bandwidth usage by defining Bandwidth policy. (See Bandwidth policy
for more details)
Cyberoam comes with several predefined policies. These predefined policies are immediately available for use until configured otherwise.
Cyberoam also lets you define following customized policies to define different levels of access for different users to meet your organization’s requirements:
•
•
Schedule
Schedule defines a time schedule for applying firewall rule or Internet Access policy i.e. used to control when firewall rules or Internet Access policies are active or inactive.
Types of Schedules:
• Recurring – use to create policies that are effective only at specified times of the day or on specified days of the week.
• One-time - use to create firewall rules/policies that are effective once for the period of time specified in the schedule.

Internet Access Policy
Internet Access policy controls user’s web access. It specifies which user has access to which sites or applications and allows defining powerful security policies based on almost limitless policy parameters like:
• Individual users
• Groups of users
• Time of day
• Location/Port/Protocol type
• Content type
• Bandwidth usage (for audio, video and streaming content)
Allow/deny access to an entire application category, or individual file extensions within a category with the help of policy. For example, you can define a policy that blocks access to all audio files with .mp3 extensions.
Two strategies based on which Internet Access policy can be defined:
Allow By default, allows access to all the categories except the specified categories. Access to the specified categories depends on the strategy defined for each category.
Deny By default, denies access to all the categories except the specified categories. Access to the specified categories depends on the strategy defined for each category.

Bandwidth Policy
Bandwidth is the amount of data passing through a media over a period of time and is measured in terms of kilobytes per second (kbps) or kilobits per second (kbits) (1 Byte = 8 bits).
The primary objective of bandwidth policy is to manage and distribute total bandwidth on certain parameters and user attributes. Bandwidth policy allocates & limits the maximum bandwidth usage of the user and controls web and network traffic.
To configure Bandwidth policy:
•
Define for whom you want to create policy
•
•
Define the Implementation strategy of the policy
•
Policy can be defined/created for:
• Logon Pool - It restricts the bandwidth of a Logon Pool i.e. all the users defined under the
Logon Pool share the allocated bandwidth.
• User - It restricts the bandwidth of a particular user.
• Firewall Rule - It restricts the bandwidth of any entity to which the firewall rule is applied.
Types of Policy
(Only for when policy is based on/created for User or IP address)
Two types of bandwidth restriction can be placed:
1. Strict
In this type of bandwidth restriction, user cannot exceed the defined bandwidth limit.
2. Committed
In this type of bandwidth restriction, user is allocated the guaranteed amount of bandwidth and can draw bandwidth up to the defined burstable limit, if available.
It enables to assign fixed minimum and maximum amounts of bandwidth to the users. By borrowing excess bandwidth when available, users are able to burst above guaranteed minimum limits, up to the burstable rate. Guaranteed rates also assure minimum bandwidth to critical users to receive constant levels of bandwidth during peak and non-peak traffic periods.
Guaranteed represents the minimum guaranteed bandwidth and burstable represents the maximum bandwidth that the user can use, if available.
Implementation strategy
(Only for when policy is based on/created for User or IP address)
Policy can be implemented in two ways depending on policy Type:
• Total (Upstream + Downstream)
• Individual Upstream and Individual Downstream
Cyberoam Central Console User Guide
Strict policy
Implementation on Bandwidth specified Example
Total
(Upstream +
Downstream)
Total bandwidth is 20 kbps upstream and downstream combined cannot cross 20 kbps
Individual Upstream Individual bandwidth i.e.
Downstream
Upstream and Downstream bandwidth is 20 kbps then either cannot cross 20 kbps
Committed policy

Burstable bandwidth
Example
Guaranteed bandwidth is 20 kbps upstream and downstream combined will get 20 kbps guaranteed (minimum) bandwidth
Burstable bandwidth is 50 kbps upstream and downstream combined can get up to 50 kbps of bandwidth
(maximum), if available
Individual
Individual
Downstream i.e. separate for both kbps
Individually get 20 kbps guaranteed
(minimum) bandwidth
Individual brustable bandwidth is 50 kbps
Individually get maximum bandwidth up to 50 kbps, if available
Bandwidth Usage
(Only for when policy is based on/created for User or IP address)
Policy can be configured for two types of bandwidth usage:
Individual – Allocated bandwidth is for the particular user only
Shared – Allocated bandwidth is shared among all the users who have been assigned this policy

IDP
Cyberoam is a real time Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDP) system that protects your network from known and unknown attacks by worms and viruses, hackers and other internet risks.
Cyberoam appliance at the perimeter of your network analyzes all traffic and prevents attacks from reaching your network. Whether it is a worm, a suspicious web request, a hacker targeting your mail server or any other attack - it simply does not get through.
Cyberoam IDP consists of a signature engine with a predefined database of signatures and uses signatures to identify the malicious activity on the network. The signatures included with the
Cyberoam cannot be modified.
As per your network requirements, Cyberoam allows you to define multiple policies instead of one global policy, to decrease packet latency and reduce false positives.
IDP policy allows you to view Cyberoam predefined signatures and customize the intrusion prevention configuration at the category as well as individual signature level. Categories are signatures grouped together based on the application and protocol vulnerabilities.
Cyberoam instead of providing only one policy (global) for managing multiple networks/hosts, allows to tailor the policy per network/host i.e. allows to define multiple policies for managing multiple networks/hosts. Defining multiple policies instead of one global policy helps in decreasing packet latency and reducing false positives.
To enable the intrusion detection and prevention functionality, apply the policy using firewall rule.
You can create rule to apply:
• single policy for all the user/networks
• different policies for different users/networks or hosts
As firewall rules control all traffic passing through the Cyberoam and decide whether to allow or drop the connection, IDP rule will be applied to only that traffic/packet which firewall passes.
•
Policy
IDP consists of a signature engine with a predefined set of signatures. Signatures are the patterns that are known to be harmful. IDP compares traffic to these signatures and responds at a high rate of speed if it finds a match. Signatures included with the Cyberoam are not modifiable.
Category
IDP organizes signatures in categories such as DNS, Finger, P2P, DDOS, and others. These signature categories are listed in the policies. You configure these categories to change the prevention and/or detection settings. To perform Intrusion prevention and detection you need to enable IDP services for each category i.e. you will be able to configure for attack threats of individual signature only if an IDP service for the category is ‘Enabled’.
Cyberoam Central Console User Guide
Each IDP policy contains a set of signatures that the Cyberoam searches for, and log and block and allows to:
• Enable or disable category from IDP protection
• Enable or disable individual signature in a category to tailor IDP protection based on your network environment
• Define the action to be taken when the matching traffic pattern is found. Cyberoam can either detect or drop the connection. In either of the case, Cyberoam generates the log and alerts the
Network Administrator.
IDP provides two modes for managing attack threats: (action if signature matches)
Drop mode - If IDP is enabled in Drop mode, Cyberoam-IDP automatically drops and resets the connection and prevents the traffic to reach its destination, if detects any traffic that matches the signature.
Detect mode - If IDP is enabled in Detect mode for a signature, Cyberoam-IDP detects and logs any traffic that matches the signature, but does not take any action against the traffic and the connection proceeds to its intended destination.
