A flexible solution, to say the least, a unified threat management device can combine multiple security functions all in one. This can pertain to network security tools and features like firewalls, antivirus measures, intrusion detection and prevention, and much more.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s great about unified threat management (UTM) is that it\u2019s a great additional resource for any business, regardless of size. For this article, you\u2019ll get a straightforward look at what UTM appliances and their associated licenses can offer your network security.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b3100b3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b3100b3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h1 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What is Unified Threat Management (UTM)?\n<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-845b492 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"845b492\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aside from what\u2019s mentioned above, UTM is a robust choice if you\u2019re interested in more than just surface-level cyber security. Whether you\u2019re running your own business or merely trying to handle due diligence in IT, UTM is an important topic to understand.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regarding the whole of your network security, UTM hardware and licenses can offer support in the following ways:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Multiple VPN services<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Antivirus scanning<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zero-day threat detection<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Various types of content filtering<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Centralized controls for more streamlined management<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It should be noted that these points are just the tip of the iceberg.
