Why It Matters

What Is Unified Threat Management (UTM)?

Unified Threat Management (UTM) is a streamlined, all-in-one security approach that combines multiple security features into a single device or cloud-based service. UTM is important because it simplifies security management and provides broad, layered protection.

We believe UTM firewalls are the ideal choice for small and mid-sized businesses in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX, as these solutions provide a no-fuss yet affordable way to harden your defenses and stay protected from attacks.

With us at Kehr Technologies, our certified team in Plano, TX installs and manages UTM firewalls, and we tailor each configuration and security setting to match your business requirements and desired outcomes, whether that’s strict compliance, high availability, or simple set-it-and-forget-it security.

Kehr Technologies’ UTM Features Include:

  • Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW): A next-gen firewall goes beyond stateful packet inspection and supports application-level inspection, intrusion prevention (IPS), and advanced threat protection.
  • Intrusion Prevention System (IPS): Automated blocking of external attacks and suspicious activity on your network.
  • Gateway Antivirus & Anti-Malware: Protects your network against viruses, ransomware, spyware, and other emerging threats from entering your IT environment.
  • Web Content Filtering: Provides a safer internet experience for your users, enforces your browsing policy, and blocks access to potentially harmful and inappropriate sites.
  • Virtual Private Network (VPN): Remote access secured with full data encryption to connect remote or branch offices to the network, ideal for hybrid workforces.
  • Application & Email Security: Blocks unsafe or unauthorized apps from running, filters out spam and phishing emails, and prevents malware from spreading across the network.
  • Centralized Dashboard & Reports: Monitor all threat vectors and stay on top of your security in one place, and easily review activity logs, security events, compliance reports, and the overall health of your network.

FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions About Firewall Services & UTM

We’ve answered a few key questions to help you understand how our cloud computing services work.

A firewall is a network security device that filters traffic between your internal network and external sources (such as hackers and malware). It helps protect your data by allowing only authorized traffic to pass through, which helps keep your systems safer from potential threats.

Unified Threat Management (UTM) is a type of firewall that combines multiple security features into one device. UTM solutions typically include firewall protection, antivirus, intrusion prevention, content filtering, and more, providing a more comprehensive approach to network security.

While firewalls are an important part of an overall security strategy, they cannot protect against every type of cyberattack. Additional measures, such as antivirus, endpoint protection, and regular system updates, should be used alongside firewalls for the best results.

Our team will configure your firewall or UTM based on industry best practices and your specific requirements. Regular security audits can help identify potential vulnerabilities, and we are available to support ongoing improvements to your configuration.

Firewalls and UTM solutions require regular software updates, security patches, and rule adjustments as your network and requirements change. We provide proactive monitoring and management services to help keep your defenses strong and up to date.
