Definition

Unified Threat Management (UTM) refers to a comprehensive security solution that integrates multiple security services and features into a single platform. This typically includes firewall, intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS), antivirus, content filtering, and virtual private network (VPN) capabilities. UTMs are designed to simplify security management by providing a centralized point for monitoring and controlling various security functions, making them particularly suitable for small to medium-sized enterprises.
