Unified Threat Management

What is Unified Threat Management?

Unified threat management (UTM) is a comprehensive cybersecurity solution that combines multiple security technologies into a single, integrated platform. UTM solutions typically include a range of security features such as firewalls, intrusion prevention and detection, anti-malware, content filtering, a virtual private network (VPN), and application control, among others.

UTM solutions are designed to simplify security management and reduce the complexity and cost associated with managing multiple security solutions. By providing a unified view of an organization's security posture, UTM solutions help improve threat visibility, enhance security controls, and enable faster incident response.

UTM is commonly used by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that require robust security capabilities but may not have the resources to deploy and manage multiple security solutions. UTM can also be used by larger organizations as part of a layered security approach, with UTM providing the first line of defence against cyber threats.
