Small Business and Unified Threat Management

Although Small Businesses might be "small" by definition, they still have the same network security needs as larger Enterprise businesses.  However, until now there really haven't been any Unified Threat Management (or UTM) solutions sized for Small Businesses.

Unified Threat Management is far more than just a basic firewall, router, or internet access gateway that you would purchase at a big-box technology store.  It's an all-encompassing appliance that includes one or many of the following features:

- Firewalling
- Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS)
- Network Intrusion Prevention System (NIPS)
- Anti-Spam
- Web Anti-Virus
- Content Filtering
- Load balancing
