                     Are You Wondering Why Your Organization
Needs a Unified Threat Management System?
What is UTM and how does it work?
Protecting their IT network has always posed to be a challenge for small and
large companies alike.  With the hackers  keeping a close watch to find one
loose end to break into the company’s network is becoming a major reason for
concern among the businesses.
 The looming threat of the competitors trying to steal their clients is increasing
day by day. To keep the hackers at bay, a comprehensive threat management
solution  to  protect  the  businesses  is  required.  And  the  Unified  Threat
Management (UTM) system proposes to be the perfect solution for an overall
IT network protection.
What are Unified Threat Management systems?
In a nutshell, the UTM could be a hardware device, virtual device or a cloud
application to provide a fool proof network protection against security threats.
What makes it impenetrable is the fact that all the trusted and proven security
services are integrated into one, which makes it invincible.
Ideally,  the  UTMs  were  developed  to  make  up  for  the  drawbacks  of  the
traditional firewalls. Though the next generation firewalls (NGFW) are more in
line  with  the  UTMs,  the  latter  exceed  in  terms  of  providing  the  security
features offered by the NGFW.
Security Features of UTM:  The Unified Threat Management systems,  in
general, is a combination of the following security applications to provide 
exhaustive network protection:
•  Anti-spam services: The anti-spam software basically  does  a  good job at
preventing the security threats entering into the organization through Simple
Mail  Transfer Protocol  (SMTP) email  traffic.  The anti-spam filters essentially
create a whitelist and blacklist of the email addresses after comparing them
with the third-party server’s block list.
• UTM Devices: These devices are used to control the usage of the applications
by developing a filter as to which applications to be used or restricted. This
step is important as many threats creep into the organization through the apps
which can compromise the security.
•  Firewalls: These  are  the  time-tested  and  traditional  way  to  control  the
network  traffic  from  entering  and  leaving  the  organization.  The  firewalls
basically  exercise a control on the connection between the host  inside and
outside  the  organization.  This  step  helps  in  eliminating  the  unwarranted
exposure to the external networks.
•  Intrusion detection: This technology helps the organizations by identifying
and detecting the threats when a hacker is trying to break into the network.
•  Virtual Private Network (VPN): The functionality of the VPN devices is to
protect  the  unwanted  eaves  dropping  and  data  theft.  The  VPN  essentially
forms  a  secure  channel  through  which  the  data  can  pass  without  being
compromised. The VPN can be configured in such a way that even the mobile
network flows through the UTM device to be able to detect and address any
security incidents compromising the devices.
Being  in  the  nascent  stage,  the  UTM  Solutions  in  Dubai menu  can  have
inclusions or exclusions of certain security services, however, listed above are
the common features provided by the Unified Threat Management Systems.
