UTM Unified Threat Management:
Unified Threat Management (UTM), or sometimes called "Next Generation
Firewalls" are also a different breed of products entirely. UTM products bring
together multiple security capabilities on to a single platform. A typical UTM
platform will provide firewall, VPN, anti-virus, web filtering, intrusion prevention
and anti-spam capabilities. Some UTM appliances are derived from IPS products
such as 3Com's X-series products. Others are derived from a combination with
firewall products, such as Juniper's SSG or Cisco's Adaptive Security Appliances
(ASA). And still others were derived from the ground up as a UTM appliance such
as Fortinet or Astaro. The main feature of a UTM is that it includes multiple
security features on one appliance. IPS is merely one feature.
