UTMB0X
Unified Threat Management describes the unified approach of dealing w/ threats coming from the internet or other public networks, in most cases in the form of a all-in-one appliance that offers a variety of functions for regulation and surveillance of the network traffic involved. By those means, virus scanning, virtual private networking and application level gateways all act together at the same time.
Description
The NetworkSEC UTMB0X is a all-in-one Unified Threat Management Appliance, which as a core element regulates the secure interconnection of networks into eachother and filters out malware, spam and viruses out of mails and web traffic. The packet filter (layer 3/4) forms the most essential element for the interconnection of networks, typically the local area network (LAN) and the internet (WAN) plus the demilitarized zone (DMZ). The firewall works in stateful mode so that only already established or internally initiated connections are allowed, all other communications get logged and dropped. One newly introduced feature is the so called session migration: In case of a failure of one of the firewalls, the permanently synchronized states at the backup firewall allow a user-transparent takeover of all established connections in session oriented TCP connections.
The UTMB0X branch is divided into a Basic and a Pro variant which mainly differ in that the Pro variant includes true high availability and session migration.A comparative listing of the two variants is following below:
