This is the definition of the hybrid workforce, defined by an enterprise that runs on a multi-cloud environment with employees accessing SaaS applications and data from off-network and on-network working locations. Where the security perimeter of the enterprise was once defined by the location of the data center, it is now also defined by the location of employees and their devices and the ever-expanding network edge. The UTM market has evolved due to network expansion and mobility. Some even predict it will all head to the cloud with Secure Service Edge/Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solutions.Īlso read: Best Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) Vendors UTM Evolves with Network Security Who knows how this market will eventually unfold. There are even further acronyms being thrown around such as unified endpoint management (UEM) and unified endpoint management and security (UEMS). Starting in 2019, Gartner consolidated its Magic Quadrants for Unified Threat Management (UTM) and Enterprise Firewalls into a single Magic Quadrant called Network Firewalls. Some vendors have ditched the UTM label and prefer to call their tools next-generation firewalls (NGFW). However, the UTM market has been evolving over the past few years. In addition to standard firewalls, features in UTMs often include intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS), secure web gateways, secure email gateways, remote access, routing and WAN connectivity. Unified threat management (UTM) offers something approaching total security in a box for small and midsize enterprises (SMEs), combining multiple network security functions in a single appliance.
