This super-appliance goes by the name of Unified Threat Management or UTM. The point security appliance, once the paradigm for enterprise security with ease, has gone from being part of a solution to becoming part of the problem. In a simpler time, the security firewall or virtual private network (VPN) appliance was considered an elegant solution. Plug it in, configure it, and let it run. But the standalone security appliance is no longer viewed as a simple, tidy box for a specific security threat. Changes in both security threats and corporate environments have transformed thinking. Each separate security appliance requires “A lot of companies have configuration, licensing, license management, specific IT training, disparate solutions.
