UTM (Unified Threat Management) Security Solutions

Unified Threat Management (UTM)

Unified threat management (UTM) is an approach to security management that allows an administrator to monitor and manage a wide variety of security-related applications and infrastructure components through a single management console.

Feature of UTM Firewall

The Trust wave Managed UTM service includes the following component support:

Stateful Firewall

Deep Inspection Intrusion Prevention

Web & Email Anti-Virus

Wi-Fi Hotspot

Benefits of Using a UTM Firewall to Protect Your Business

UTM Firewall includes such features as e-mail spam filtering, internet filtering, anti-

virus capability, an intrusion prevention system, and the traditional functions of a firewall needed by a small business. In simpler terms, this means that UTM can perform all the functions of a necessary firewall and more with one box instead of the common two or three box system.

The first and main benefit of a UTM Firewall is that it embraces the idea that many vital functions are confined to one box. Firewall systems have a tendency to become complex because they attempt to protect a system in a convoluted, non-linear manner. UTM reduces this complexity by unifying each component saving small business both time and money.

What Sets Unified Threat management Apart From Others?

Unified threat management is a firewall appliance that has multiple features. The device guards against intrusion and carries out spam filtering, content filtering, antivirus detection and intrusion detection.

These were traditionally managed by multiple systems. Unified threat management is designed to deal with all levels of threats that try to attack computer networks.

Advantages of Using a Unified Threat Management

Less Complexity- The all-in-one approach simplifies several things, such as product integration, product selection and ongoing support.

Ease of Deployment- As lesser human intervention is required, it is easy to install and maintain. One can get the product installed by finding a reputed vendor online.

The Black Box Approach- Users have a habit of playing with things. Here, the black box approach puts a restriction on the damage that users can cause. This diminishes trouble and enhances network security.

Integration Capabilities- The appliances can be distributed easily at remote sites. In such a scenario, a plug and play device can be set up and handled remotely. This type of management is interactive with firewalls that are software- based.

Disadvantages of Unified Threat Management

Lower performance

Single point of failure.

Vendor lock-in.

Difficult to scale in large environments.

Limited feature set compared to point product alternatives.
