Which device is specifically designed to consolidate several security and network functions into a single appliance, protecting against multiple threats while simplifying the overall security infrastructure?
A Unified Threat Management (UTM) appliance combines multiple security capabilities-such as firewalling, antivirus/antimalware, intrusion detection and prevention, and content filtering-into one device. This "all-in-one" design allows administrators to manage security through a single interface and reduces the complexity of deploying separate point solutions. A traditional firewall focuses mainly on controlling traffic based on rules, a wireless access point (WAP) merely bridges Wi-Fi clients to a wired LAN, and a router connects different networks and directs packet traffic; none of these alone provide the full suite of integrated security controls that a UTM offers.
