The UTM Firewall desktop appliance range provides Internet security and privacy of communications for
small and medium enterprises and branch offices. It simply and securely connects your office to the
Internet, and with its robust stateful firewall, shields your computers from external threats.
By default, all UTM Firewall appliances run a fully secured stateful firewall. This means from the PC
(Personal Computer) that the appliance is plugged into, most network resources are freely accessible.
However, any services that the PC provides, such as file shares or Web services such as IIS are not
accessible by other hosts on the internet without further configuration of the UTM Firewall appliance. This is
accomplished using packet filter rules. For details, refer to
With the UTM Firewall appliance's masquerading firewall, hosts on your LAN (Local Area Network) can see
and access resources on the Internet, but all that outsiders see is the UTM Firewall appliance's external
address.
You can tailor your appliance to disallow access from your LAN to specific Internet sites or categories of
content, give priority to specific types of network traffic, and allow controlled access to your LAN from the
outside world. You can also choose to enable intrusion detection and prevention services on your UTM
Firewall appliance, to further bolster the security of your local network.
