UTMs unmasked - can they really protect against security threats? All UTM (Universal Threat Management) firewalls are not created equeal. ITBusiness.ca tested how effective the devices protect your network. When we began this process well over a year ago, we asked for input from virtually every firewall and UTM vendor we knew, and we invited every UTM vendor we could find to send us an appliance to test. In the end, four vendors answered the call. Astaro, SonicWall, WatchGuard, and ZyXel submitted units for this first set of tests. Although all four fulfill the basic definition of a UTM - combining firewall, VPN, intrusion detection and prevention, anti-malware, anti-spam, and Web content filtering - we could not have asked for four more diverse units. There are differences in basic approaches to security (by default, allow most normal traffic or allow absolutely nothing), differences in administration capabilities, big differences in throughput, and most important of all, immense differences in effectiveness against malware. Among the four devices we tested, only one - the SonicWall NSA E7500 - provided a significant level of protection against malware, blocking 96 percent of the attacks we threw at it. The Astaro Security Gateway 425 and WatchGuard Firebox Peak X5500 fell far short, blocking a mere 26 percent and 33 percent of the attacks, respectively. The ZyXel ZyWall USG1000 took the middle ground, blocking a more respectable 69 percent of the attacks To read the full article click here Since 1987, Business Networks has been Manitoba’s leading provider of information technology products, services and business consulting expertise.
