Understanding Unified Threat Management

Unified Threat Management UTM is a security approach that consolidates multiple protective functions into a single appliance or platform, typically including a firewall, intrusion detection and prevention, gateway antivirus, content and web filtering, and VPN capabilities. By centralizing these controls, UTM simplifies management and lowers cost, making it especially popular with small and midsize organizations. UTM is considered a precursor to the broader next-generation firewall category.
