What Is the ProSecure Unified Threat Management
Appliance UTM10 or UTM25?
The ProSecure Unified Threat Management Appliance UTM10 or UTM25, hereafter referred to as
the UTM, connects your local area network (LAN) to the Internet through one or two external
broadband access devices such as cable modems or DSL modems. Dual wide area network (WAN)
ports allow you to increase effective throughput to the Internet by utilizing both WAN ports to
carry session traffic, or to maintain a backup connection in case of failure of your primary Internet
connection.
As a complete security solution, the UTM combines a powerful, flexible firewall with a content
scan engine that uses NETGEAR Stream Scanning technology to protect your network from denial
of service (DoS) attacks, unwanted traffic, traffic with objectionable content, spam, phishing, and
Web-borne threats such as spyware, viruses, and other malware threats.
The UTM provides advanced IPsec and SSL VPN technologies for secure and simple remote
connections. The use of Gigabit Ethernet LAN and WAN ports ensures extremely high data
transfer speeds.
The UTM is a plug-and-play device that can be installed and configured within minutes.
