External threats like spyware, phishing, pharming, viruses and more are targeting the individual user, extracting corporate and personal confidential information or turning their devices into parts of massive botnets to further the attack. In addition, internal users are compromising enterprise security out of ignorance or malicious intent and are posing the single largest threat to enterprise security.  

Individual security solutions, while dealing with different aspects of threats, do not give adequate and rapid response to threats. A Unified Threat Management solution provides comprehensive protection to enterprises with tightly integrated multiple security features working together on a single appliance. A single UTM appliance makes it very easy to manage an enterprise’s security strategy, with just one device to manage, one source of support and single way to set up and maintain every aspect of its security solution. A UTM solution is highly cost-effective and offers a centralized console that enables monitoring of network security at remote locations.  

Identity-based controls and visibility are critical components of network security. With identity and network data combined, enterprises are able to identify patterns of behavior by specific users or groups that can signify misuse, unauthorized intrusions, or malicious attacks from inside or outside the enterprise. Activities and security policy rules can be enforced on network segments based on identity.
