Unified Threat Management
An ever-changing landscape of security
threats has made Unified Threat Management (UTM) the fastest growing segment
on the security appliance market. Coined by IDC, UTM refers to a security
device that provides broad network protection by combining multiple security
features—firewalling, anti-virus, and intrusion detection and prevention—on a
single hardware platform. Industry analysts note that the rapid rise in
blended threats—Internet viruses that attack at the application layer-have
greatly contributed to a need for the flexible, highly integrated
functionality that UTM delivers.
The SonicWALL complete UTM solution provides
intelligent, real-time network protection against sophisticated
application-layer and content-based attacks. Comprising Gateway Anti-Virus,
Anti-Spyware and Intrusion Prevention Service, our solution flushes out both
internal and external threats by addressing multiple threat access points and
thoroughly scanning all network layers. Utilizing a high-performance, deep
packet inspection engine, SonicWALL delivers threat protection directly on the
security gateway by scanning against multiple application types and protocols
and by matching files against an extensive signature database.
Many solutions utilize a firewall
architecture known as stateful packet inspection, which works primarily at the
network layer to determine whether data packets were requested and should be
allowed onto the network. This approach permits selective but flexible access
from outside the network and relatively unrestricted transmission from within.
Given that many viruses originate from within an organization's e-mail
service, it's clear that numerous threats will bypass the Stateful level of
protection.
