Devices designed to consolidate several security functions, including network firewalling, intrusion prevention, and web-specific protection, can operate these functions at the same time.
Devices known as Unified Threat Management appliances combine various security and networking functions into a single platform. These functions include, but are not limited to, implementing firewall rules, preventing intrusions, and filtering web traffic to protect against web-based threats. By integrating these elements, such appliances offer a streamlined suite of security features that simplifies management and can enhance the overall security posture by handling multiple types of threats in a coordinated manner.
