UTM
A unified threat management (UTM) system is a type of network hardware appliance, virtual appliance or cloud service that protects the network from security threats in a simplified way by combining and integrating multiple security services and features. UTM devices are often packaged as network security appliances that can help protect networks against combined security threats, including malware and attacks that simultaneously target separate parts of the network.
UTM cloud services and virtual network appliances are becoming increasingly popular for network security, especially for smaller and medium-sized educational institutes. They both do away with the need for on-premises network security appliances, yet still provide centralized control and ease of use for building network security defense in depth.
