Unified threat management (UTM) and next generation firewall (NGFW)

For those who are unfamiliar, Unified threat management (UTM) and next generation firewall (NGFW) are two terms used to describe modern network firewalls that offer a range of multifunctional security capabilities.

In infect, the network firewall is one of the original network security tools and remains one of the most important tools used by IT organizations of all sizes.

Then, one can observe that, the firewall has evolved rapidly in recent years in response to the emergence of sophisticated and always changing threats.

Firewall threat detection capabilities must be continually improved in order to detect attackers that are more sophisticated and difficult to detect, and that exploit a greater number of network entry points.
