ABSTRACT:
The consolidation and simplification of security infrastructure that it affords is certainly an attractive, cost saving feature of UTM technology. However, it is the unification, robustness, and flexibility of associated management capabilities that enable recurring returns, and therefore much greater gains, due to both improvements in ongoing operations and greater security effectiveness. Of course, such capabilities are also one of the primary prerequisites to having UTM be suitable for enterprise-class deployments in the first place (with top-notch security, performance, integration, and flexibility being the others).
