Title: Unified Threat Management System


1
What is UTM and how does it work? Protecting
their IT network has always posed to be a
challenge for small and large companies alike.
With the hackers keeping a close watch to find
one loose end to break into the companys
network is becoming a major reason for concern
among the businesses. The looming threat of the
competitors trying to steal their clients is
increasing day by day. To keep the hackers at
bay, a comprehensive threat management solution
to protect the businesses is required. And the
Unified Threat Management (UTM) system proposes
to be the perfect solution for an overall IT
network protection.

What are Unified Threat Management systems? In a
nutshell, the UTM could be a hardware device,
virtual device or a cloud application to provide
a foolproof network protection against security
threats. What makes it impenetrable is the fact
that all the trusted and proven security
services are integrated into one, which makes it
invincible. Ideally, the UTMs were developed to
make up for the drawbacks of the traditional
firewalls. Though the next generation firewalls
(NGFW) are more in line with the UTMs, the
latter exceed in terms of providing the security
features offered by the NGFW.

  • Security Features of UTM
  • The Unified Threat Management systems, in
    general, is a combination of the following
    security applications to provide exhaustive
    network protection.
  • Anti-spam services The anti-spam software
    basically does a good job at preventing the
    security threats entering into the organization
    through Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
    email traffic. The anti-spam filters essentially
    create a whitelist and blacklist of the email
    addresses after comparing them with the
    third-party servers block list.
  • UTM Devices These devices are used to control
    the usage of the applications by developing a
    filter as to which applications to be used or
    restricted. This step is important as many
    threats creep into the organization through the
    apps which can compromise the security.
  • Firewalls These are the time-tested and
    traditional way to control the network traffic
    from entering and leaving the organization. The
    firewalls basically exercise a control on the
    connection between the host inside and outside
    the organization. This step helps in eliminating
    the unwarranted exposure to the external
    networks.

  • Intrusion detection This technology helps the
    organizations by identifying and detecting the
    threats when a hacker is trying to break into
    the network.
  • Virtual Private Network (VPN) The functionality
    of the VPN devices is to protect the unwanted
    eavesdropping and data theft. The VPN
    essentially forms a secure channel through which
    the data can pass without being compromised. The
    VPN can be configured in such a way that even
    the mobile network flows through the UTM device
    to be able to detect and address any security
    incidents compromising the devices.

Being in the nascent stage, the UTM menu can have
inclusions or exclusions of certain security
services, however, listed above are the common
features provided by the Unified Threat
Management Systems. Contact Techno Edge Systems
