The article needs complete rewriting

At this stage the article looks very much like an advertorial for Cyberoam.

Identity-based security is not:

a [Cyberoam] patented network security approach, but it can be a security model or framework, or an architecture, among other things.
a security approach put forward by Cyberoam, as it precedes Cyberoam's solution.

Also, identity-based security is not just:

a security approach which includes security components that provides visibility and control over user activity in a particular network, but rather a method of controlling access to a digital product or location based on the authenticated identity of an individual.

While it's true that it's often the case that the concept of identity-based security is used in connection with network security (Cisco (PDF), Aruba Networks (PDF), Palo Alto Networks etc.), it can be used with digital products as well.
