At its most basic, Unified threat management (UTM) devices integrate multiple security functions such as: network firewalling, network intrusion detection systems (IDS), network Intrusion prevention systems (IPS), gateway antivirus (AV), gateway anti-spam, VPN, outbound content filtering, load balancing and data leak prevention.

Simply put, it has developed into the default solution for many information technology integrators and managed service providers in recent years — a network security function which integrates a wide variety of security services into a single device or service. The primary market of UTM providers is the small and medium-sized enterprises, single office/home office and enterprise segments.

Coined by IDC analyst Charles Kodology in 2003, UTM appliances typically consolidate firewall and VPN capabilities along with URL filtering, spam blocking, intrusion prevention, gateway antivirus, application control, and a centralized management, monitoring and logging function. Traditionally, these discrete functions were handled by multiple point solutions.

Lower up-front cost: Unified threat management (UTM) devices can support a 30/35 person office for around $2,000.

Lower maintenance costs: Since you’re buying just one Unified threat management (UTM) support agreement for all security services, you can significantly reduce the amount you pay for ongoing support.

If you have limited space for networking equipment, Unified Threat Management’s ability to fit all the services into a small, self-contained package can be really appealing. – Less space
