unified threat management (UTM)

Unified Threat Management (UTM) is a comprehensive security solution that combines multiple cybersecurity features into a single device or platform. It typically includes firewall protection, antivirus, intrusion detection and prevention, content filtering, and other security tools. By integrating these functions, UTM simplifies managing network security, reduces costs, and provides a centralized way to defend against various cyber threats. Essentially, it acts as a digital gatekeeper, monitoring and controlling access to your network to prevent unauthorized access, malware, and other cyberattacks—all through one streamlined system.
