ZyWALL UTM - Explanation of Features

Zywall UTM Features Gone are the days when a dedicated firewall is sufficient to fend off hackers from corporate networks. Unified Threat Management (UTM) is an emerging trend in the network security appliance market. This evolution introduces a new all-in-one network security device that provides content filtering, anti-virus, anti-spam and intrusion detection services - traditionally handled by multiple systems. In an increasingly complex network environment, the integrated UTM device provides streamlined management effort and ease-of-installation, while providing multiple layers of network protection. High-Performance 8-in-1 UTM Solution The traditional way of installing multiple dedicated security devices for network protection is no longer practical in today’s complex network infrastructure and size.
