Super UTM will appear a series of developments in network security is leading to the emergence of a comprehensive UTM solution, so that the network can scale to withstand most attacks.

The real UTM functional components should include:

* The firewall needs to have the ability to implement connection-oriented policies and meet the requirements of SSL VPN and IPSec VPN.

* Intrusion prevention (IPS) has seen a significant improvement because it can resist the spread of worms and prevent certain targeted attacks. However, the general concern raised by enterprise IT managers about IPS is that it creates both a "clean" side and a "dirty" side within the network. In other words, a machine on the same LAN segment as an infected computer will be at risk. In order to be fully effective, IPS must be placed in front of each terminal device.

* Online antivirus has become a driving force in the field of security equipment, because a large amount of spam or infected emails, instant messaging content and P2P files are affecting the processing capabilities of their respective servers.

* URL content filtering is initially not related to security. But as more and more websites began to contain malicious content, it began to become an important part of end user defense.

Of course, due to the combined functions of these UTM features, the integrated device will bring greater benefits whenever it encounters threats from network attack malware with new protocols.

The next development direction of this kind of function-integrated security equipment is the improvement of network capabilities. Routing protocols such as OSPE, RIP, and BGP provide flexible architectures for many enterprises, thereby eliminating the cost of designing, configuring, and maintaining separate routers and load balancing equipment. In many cases, UTM can be deployed without a router at all, thereby enhancing the value it brings to users.

There have always been problems with internal divisions. As a mechanism to contain threats or isolate some networks, this is more like an expensive component than a first-class solution. The required level of policy setting is too fine, and requires managers to have a wide range of skills, but this is what most managers lack. When the execution requirements are quantified, it looks either very expensive or does not meet the performance required by SMEs.

For enterprise networks of all sizes, aggregating and integrating security functions is a cost-effective solution for saving money and energy. Therefore, this provides an opportunity for security vendors to develop new solutions to ensure the network architecture by combining the functions of network switches, IPS, antivirus, firewalls and routers. In other words, this is to integrate switches and routers into traditional UTM security equipment.

Two forms of UTM

This solution mainly relies on a switched network architecture. These usually include core switches and access switches. Virtual local area networks (VLANs) will be used to provide device-level granularity when needed. The switch implements strategies based on layer 2 and layer 3. Normal data flow can be filtered by adding IPS function. Ideal IPS filtering can be performed directly within the switch. Connection with the Internet and third parties can also be achieved through the firewall function embedded in the switch. The next-generation UTM security equipment will also provide more network segmentation, such as isolation for the trading area and certain departments.

These super UTM devices will exhibit two main forms. Operators and service providers will attempt to filter malicious traffic from their backbones through such deployments, and then be able to provide "clean pipes" to their customers. This idea has been around for years, and operators have tried to remove viruses, Trojans, worms, and malware from their networks as much as possible. However, so far, it has not been realized for many reasons (cost and technical aspects).

The second form exists in the enterprise's core network. These advanced UTM devices will be used to segment and protect every department and even every device. This is the first real internal network enhancement.

In a small office or remote office, the maximum benefit will be achieved. A single device will not only replace many security devices used to perform filtering and protection, but also replace routers and switches.

This concept makes UTM far beyond its original idea of ​​being a simple and secure platform. The industry will see some important misalignments, which are brought about by the fact that security equipment has begun to accommodate many network functions. Traditional router and switch manufacturers will find that their products that are known for their speed and simplicity cannot meet the needs of deep packet inspection and fine defense. Security vendors focused on firewalls or IPS will find that they are being replaced by more flexible products that combine security and networking.
