Rendering security to an IT infrastructure is a complicated task, and this is why businesses are continually shifting towards dedicated service providers. Simplifying an IT system is often the primary concern of organizational heads, and with UTM firewalls added into the scheme of things, enterprises can quickly remove the complexities associated with network security and other safety considerations. UTM or Unified Threat Management is the go-to network security solution for companies and has compounded by 20.7 percent over the last four years.

How Does UTM Firewall differ from the Conventional Firewalls?

Unlike a regular firewall that just keeps potential networking threats at bay, UTM concentrates on offering a host of security solutions without the organizations having to rely on multiple service providers.  A regular firewall is a single service offered by a dedicated security service providers. On the other hand, Unified Threat Management is a holistic service that comes forth with the features like content filtering, VPN, firewall and anti-virus protection clubbed under a single dashboard. Businesses without the next-gen UTM firewall need to rely on several security tools which further complicate the IT infrastructure and the associated network security requirements. This, eventually, slows down the entire network and opens up a host of security loopholes.

Benefits of using a UTM Firewall

A corporate Unified Threat Management firewall keeps the company network secured against unwanted traffic. In addition to that, it comes forth with Internet Gateway Security that readily scans the incoming traffic for malicious malware and viruses.

A UTM firewall boasts of a network intrusion prevention system or the IPS which in turn prevents hackers from attacking servers and unpatched PCs thus keeping severe threats like ransomware at bay. Apart from that, it offers secure and private remote access to the employees even when they are outside the company premises. Lastly, Unified Threat Management equips an organization to automatically update its security schema, anti-virus definitions, and other associated features.

Overall, UTM firewalls vouch for simplicity when it comes to offering security solutions to an organization. The best part about using UTM is that every security component can be configured and controlled via a unified management console.

Understanding Seqrite’s UTM Service: Decoding  ‘Terminator’

Seqrite offers a one-stop network security solution for the entrepreneurial requirements via its dedicated UTM service, i.e., the Terminator. This UTM appliance forms the first security perimeter for most corporate networks, allowing employees to focus on positive business impact and productivity.

Seqrite’s Terminator assists companies with regulatory compliance and security management. In addition to that, having this UTM at their disposal assures higher productivity and a safe-working environment. Apart from that, Seqrite’s dedicated UTM service comes forth with a host of financial and technological benefits.

Enlisting the Features of Seqrite’s UTM Service

Terminator scans network traffic, directly at the gateway via its Gateway Antivirus. This feature reduces the WoV factor or Window of Vulnerability by augmenting virus solutions. The existing firewall solution offered by Seqrite’s UTM scrutinizes the entire network in real-time and eventually modulates the traffic, based on the compliance policies.

Other features of the Terminator include Gateway Mail Protection that scans emails for malicious attachments and phishing attacks. It also offers load balancing for distributing bandwidth across myriad ISPs which operate via unified gateway channels. Lastly, there is Automatic Link Failover that assists in network load shifting from dormant ISP lines to the active ones. This feature reduces the internet downtime and streamlines data transition.

The Terminator facilitates secure communications via VPN and comes forth with the Bandwidth Manager. Content filtering is yet another feature of this UTM solution that blocks irrelevant business traffic.

Bottom-Line

It is evident that a UTM firewall packs way more power as compared to a stand-alone firewall service. Also, having a unified, integrated  solution can simplify the concept of network security for an organization. However, IT heads and CISOs must keep checking the health of the UTM firewall as it can be a Single Point of Failure and a broken UTM firewall can expose an organization to a host of vulnerabilities. Seqrite Terminator helps companies with updated and robust security solution with proper dashboard management for monitoring and fixing security issues.
