UTM: all for one
Integrated security solutions such as UTM can save money
in the long run
 Unified
Threat Management (UTM) combine a complete suite of threat management functions
to offer comprehensive security on a single platform. They sport features such
as firewall, VPN, anti-virus, anti-spam, IDS and IPS, content filtering, bandwidth
management, multiple load balancing and gateway failover.
UTM systems have been around in one form or another since the start of the decade.
It’s only in the past few years that the technology has entered the mainstream
IT security market, largely due to the development of relatively low-cost, rack-mounted
appliances with high processing power. However, the trend is towards convergence,
which has helped in the evolution and emergence of UTM as the preferred choice
that combines many technologies like AV, AS, IPS and firewall, working in tandem
on a single platform.
UTM appliances can sit on the edge or at the center of a company’s IT systems
and run a variety of IT security applications, including a stateful inspection
firewall, intrusion-detection software and a blend of anti-virus, anti-spam,
anti-spyware, and content-filtering applications. Apart from integrating traditionally
separate security services into a single device, UTM appliances also offer streamlined
access to IT security policies and reporting.
Next-generation UTM solutions enable updates to be administered across functionalities
and sites at the click of a button. Reporting is another major function that
is lacking in most appliances. These days, the best UTM devices are equipped
with advanced reporting features that enable network administrators to keep
tabs on overall performance in real-time.
In this age of convergence, UTM is here to stay and evolve as per the changing
threat scenario and security needs. UTM appliances are already on a logical
evolution path where they have co-opted standalone devices. Of course, UTM systems
with the capability to stay a step ahead of emerging threats through constant
innovation and R&D efforts stand a better chance of ending up on top.
Standalone solutions continue to be preferred by small companies, however, and
there are a plethora of solutions available in each product category under the
umbrella of security including Anti-Virus, Anti-Spam, PC-based Firewalls, IDS/IPS
et al.
With regard to secure connectivity there’s SSL VPN.
Most SSL VPN devices can check client end-points for date and time of access,
IP address, operating system version, the Windows registry, the version of Internet
Explorer, whether the anti-virus software is up to date, is there a Personal
Firewall, a hidden file name and its MD5 checksum. Organizations can mix and
match various client credentials to grant application access.
