Unified Threat Management (UTM) Solutions from SECURE COMPUTING®

The UTM space is a relatively new security appliance segment tracked by IDC that is predicted to grow to $2 billion by 2008. "UTM" refers to "All-in-one" devices that consolidate multiple security systems into one appliance for complete attack protections against the entire threat matrix. The development of UTM is a major firewall inflection trend based on the need for stronger perimeter security solutions because attacks have become much more sophisticated. Application-level defenses, and the ability to prevent known and unknown attacks for a UTM approach, become more critical daily.

As an all-in-one, UTM security appliance, Sidewinder G2® includes attack protections from layers 2 through 7 of the OSI model. Secure Computing's Sidewinder G2 Security Appliance provides these desired UTM benefits:

1. Our Sidewinder G2 UTM appliance can reduce overhead and free valuable resources for other projects.
2. Our Sidewinder G2 UTM appliance saves time, money, and people when managing multiple security systems.
3. Our Sidewinder G2 UTM appliance can replace four, five, six, or more systems.
4. Our Sidewinder G2 UTM security appliances can dramatically lower TCO for complete perimeter security.

UTM systems must at minimum:

1. Be an appliance
2. Include multiple security features
3. Have a hardened OS
4. Be able to perform:
   • Network firewalling
   • Intrusion prevention (IPS) ("Stop Attacks!")
   • Gateway anti-virus

Secure Computing® is the leader in the UTM space with Sidewinder G2. The Sidewinder G2® Security Appliance provides Enterprise firewall appliance protection as well as Anti Virus by Sophos, SPAM Filtering by Cloudmark, Strong Authentication through SafeWord, Content Filtering using SmartFilter, traffic anomaly detection, IDS/IPS, and more. Sidewinder G2 provides defense-in-depth protections against the entire threat matrix around the clock.
