A UTM (Unified Threat Management) firewall is an IT security solution that combines several security functions in one device. It serves to protect networks and systems from various threats.

Firewall function: It controls data traffic between different networks (e.g. between the internal network and the internet) and filters unwanted data traffic based on defined rules. Intrusion prevention system (IPS): It monitors network traffic for suspicious activity and potential attacks in order to block them in real time. Anti-virus and anti-malware: It scans incoming and outgoing data traffic for malicious software and blocks it before it enters the network.

Web filtering: Filters web content based on defined categories or policies to prevent access to dangerous or inappropriate websites. VPN (Virtual Private Network): Provides VPN functionality to enable secure connections for remote employees or external locations. Reporting and monitoring: It provides comprehensive reporting and monitoring capabilities to give administrators insight into network traffic and potential security incidents.

UTM firewalls are not only a must-have for large organisations, but also the optimal solution for small and medium-sized businesses that want to implement comprehensive protection with fewer resources.

Choosing the right UTM firewall for your company depends on several factors, including company size and requirements, necessary functions (e.g. VPN, web filtering, IPS), performance requirements, support and updates, and integration into existing systems.

With our UTM firewall solutions, data traffic is processed without any noticeable delay. We automatically take care of all security updates, and our solutions are easy to integrate into existing systems and compatible with other IT security solutions.

A UTM firewall should definitely be part of or form the basis of any IT security strategy. However, a comprehensive IT security concept includes other components that work together to ensure the security of IT systems and data. These include risk management to identify and assess potential risks and threats; the creation and communication of clear security guidelines; ensuring compliance with legal requirements; security awareness training to educate and sensitise employees on topics such as phishing or password security; and security audits in the form of pentests to regularly identify and remedy vulnerabilities.
