What Is a Unified Threat Management Solution?
Unified threat management (UTM) is an emerging trend in the network security market. UTM appliances have evolved from traditional firewall/VPN products into a solution with many additional capabilities, including:

• Spam blocking
• Gateway antivirus
• Spyware prevention
• Intrusion prevention
• URL filtering

These are functions that previously had been handled by multiple systems. UTM solutions also provide integrated management, monitoring, and logging capabilities to streamline deployment and maintenance. All of WatchGuard’s Firebox X e-Series security appliances - Firebox X Peak™, Firebox X Core™, and Firebox X

Edge - combine these capabilities for a superior UTM solution

Firebox® X UTM solutions integrate multiple security functions in a single firewall platform

Built-in Zero Day Protection Is the Foundation
There is powerful security right out of the box. The architecture of the Firebox X has built-in, proactive zero day protection to defend against new and emerging threats. Many vendors only provide signature-based protection. These reactive solutions actually leave their customers exposed to new types of threats during the "zero day" timeframe - between an exploit's discovery and a signature update's release.

WatchGuard customers were protected
even before signatures were made available.
See the list below of viruses WatchGuard has stopped.

Twenty-two of the thirty most significant viruses and their variants released from 2003 to 2006 were blocked by default on the Firebox, protecting WatchGuard customers before a signature could ever have been made available.* Here's the list:

Layers of Powerful Defenses Working Together
The security layers of the Firebox X architecture work together to strengthen overall security. Cooperative communication between layers reduces and fine tunes the processing required by the security functions. The result - you get the protection you need to stay safe while optimizing performance.
