Unified Threat Management: The All-in-One Cybersecurity Solution

UTM (Unified threat management) is thought to be an all-in-one
solution for cybersecurity. In general, it is a versatile software
or hardware firewall solution integrated with IPS (Intrusion
Prevention System) and other security services. A universal gateway
allows the user to manage network security with one comprehensive
solution, which makes the task much easier. In addition, compared
to a conventional firewall, such systems are capable of detecting
and blocking more sophisticated attacks. SafeDNS has recently
released such a solution, and this is what this article is going to
be about.

Who needs UTMs?

Most of all, UTMs are valued by SMEs – the all-in-one solution
makes it simple to manage all their cybersecurity solutions and
services. This also cuts down a lot of communications between
vendors, since UTMs are easily supported by one IT team. This leads
to another upside of the system – it can be cost-effective, as
there is no need to pay a bunch of vendors & extra for tech
support.

UTMs are a great solution for all types of businesses, from
small to enterprises. They fit the budgets perfectly, covering all
of the cybersecurity layers necessary & saving companies time on
unwanted communications with different vendors.

What can SafeUTM do?

To put it short, SafeUTM differs from others mostly by being
hardware agnostic – it does not require any specific hardware.

First of all, it is a classic Next Generation Firewall. It
prevents intrusion, filters content, controls apps, has an
anti-virus traffic inspection, secure VPN, reporting and more.

It is user-friendly, despite being a sophisticated cybersec
solution. Simple interface & quick technical support in web
interface, by phone, and in chat make it easy to work with.

SafeUTM has flexible integration scenarios – it supports VMware,
Microsoft Hyper-V, VirtualBox, KVM, Citrix XenServer hypervisors,
and monitoring systems, such as Zabbix agent, SNMP, DLP (via ICAP),
& Microsoft Active Directory.

Last but not least is content filtering, the strongest feature
of SafeDNS. With 145 categories of 500 million URLs in an updatable
database, it protects the whole network from malicious, phishing
and infectious sites.

SafeUTM reports section

A feature worth stopping by is reporting. With reports, you know
exactly what is happening to users on your network, which makes it
easy to quickly troubleshoot problems, change policies for users,
maintain security and improve network performance. You get these
reports in a standard form, and the data is stored locally without
the need to integrate with additional tools.

Is personal information safe?

Access to employees’ personal information is regulated both at
the legislative level and usually at the company level. As a rule,
reports and statistics on web activity are handled by network
administrators and managers who are not authorized to access
employees’ personal information.

Both general and detailed reports on individual users show no
private information about employees’ search engine queries or the
content of messages.

Mail server & VPN

The mail server includes all the features needed to create a
communication system for small and medium-sized companies.
Enterprises benefit a lot as well – it helps to reduce the costs
associated with the implementation and subsequent operation of the
mail system. There is no need to purchase additional user and
server licenses to use the mail server. The e-mail server is
managed through a single web interface. And, as mentioned above,
the ability to integrate with Active Directory, as well as the ease
of setting up the mail server, makes the implementation process
fast and extremely predictable.

SafeUTM Active Directory integration

The modules integrated in SafeUTM allow you to easily connect
several offices into one local network or connect to the network
from anywhere where there is the internet, including using mobile
devices. Creating a reliable and secure VPN connection in SafeUTM
is as simple as possible. We have also taken care of the
compatibility of our solutions with third-party routers, software
gateways and mobile devices, all of which can be easily combined
into one network. Our solution supports the five most popular VPN
protocols: IKEv2/IPSec, SSTP, L2TP/IPsec, WireGuard and PPTP.
