Unified Threat Management (UTM) Solutions from SECURE COMPUTING®
The unified threat management space is a relatively new security appliance segment
tracked by IDC that is predicted to grow to $2 billion by 2008. "Unified threat management"
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 unified threat management approach, become more
critical daily.
As an all-in-one, Unified Threat Management 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 unified threat management benefits:
- Our Sidewinder G2 UTM appliance can reduce overhead and free valuable resources for other projects.
- Our Sidewinder G2 UTM appliance saves time, money, and people when managing multiple security systems.
- Our Sidewinder G2 UTM appliance can replace four, five, six, or more systems.
- Our Sidewinder G2 UTM security appliances can dramatically lower TCO for complete perimeter security.
How is a unified threat management appliance defined?
Unified threat management systems must at minimum:
- Be an appliance
- Include multiple security features
- Have a hardened OS
- Be able to perform:
- Network firewalling
- Intrusion prevention (IPS) ("Stop Attacks!")
- Gateway anti-virus
