Security experts agree that a single weak link in security can compromise an entire security implementation. Therefore, organizations need a unified approach that protects their networks and business users from the threat of blended attacks and technology misuse while decreasing their operating costs. This ever-changing landscape of security threats has made Unified Threat Management (UTM) the fastest growing segment on the security appliance market.
UTM
Refers to a security device that provides broad network protection by combining multiple security features—firewalling, anti-virus, intrusion detection and prevention, and content control and filtering—on a single hardware platform.
Effective UTM requires:
Total Cost of Ownership
Total system costs must be less than the expected loss if there are security breaches due to a lack of controls. The solution must decrease the time to protection and ongoing overhead to achieve a lower total cost of ownership. Security is constantly changing and the system must adapt to these changes on a constant basis with little to no user intervention.
Coordination
Security breaches can occur between mismatched technologies, so when possible, layer your approach to security. Since many threats have multiple attack signatures one layer prevents a portion of an attack, another layer catches the rest. The security posture of the network must adapt in unison for comprehensive protection.
Reduced complexity
To achieve maximum security, solutions must be understandable to implement and components must work well together, or incident detection (and resolution) becomes difficult, if not impossible. Vital considerations include time-to-response and automation of the appropriate protection.

Product: SonicWALL UTM Solution
Comprising Gateway Anti-Virus, Anti- Spyware and Intrusion Prevention Service, this solution flushes out both internal and external threats by addressing multiple threat access points and thoroughly scanning all network layers. Utilizing a highperformance, deep packet inspection engine, SonicWALL delivers threat protection directly on the security gateway by scanning against multiple application types and protocols and by matching files against an extensive signature database.

- Deep Packet Inspection
SonicWALL employs a comprehensive
method known as real-time deep packet inspection (DPI), which inspects all
network traffic, including encoded, compressed, encrypted and wireless traffic,
against an extensive and continuously updated signature database. The SonicALERT
team and third party sources work 24x7 to develop up-to-the-minute protection
signatures, which are updated on a constant basis to scan in real time and
detect and block threats, hidden or not.
With DPI technology, SonicWALL can examine information at the application layer and defend against attacks targeting application vulnerabilities. This DPI engine scans against multiple application types and protocols including SMTP, POP3, IMAP, FTP, HTTP, NetBIOS and dozens of other stream-based protocols, and over 50 application types for intrusion detection and prevention (IDP).
The SonicWALL engine scans all network layers including Link, IP, TCP/UDP, Static Ports, and Dynamic Ports and common user applications such as instant messaging and peer to peer applications—so a company’s remote site gateway, internal network, file downloads, servers and desktops are all protected. As an added layer of security, SonicWALL can protect from both internal and external network threats.
