Unified threat management
Altech Namitech is also proud to announce its unified threat management services for the Check Point Firewalls.
Integrated multi-threat gateway security solutions: The emphasis has shifted from threat avoidance to threat management. The latter requires, for example:
* Cost-effectiveness: Total system costs should be less than the expected loss if there are security breaches due to a lack of control. When considering total costs, be aware of the hardware, software and operational costs, and their potential impact on the business.
* Co-ordination: It has to take place between organisations and between technologies.
* Streamlined administration: Manual processes will break down under too much volume and pressure and the involvement of more labour to resolve the problem, usually worsens it while increasing costs.
* Interoperability: If the technical components don't work well together, incident resolution (and sometimes even incident determination) is difficult, if not impossible.
Unified threat management (UTM) security appliances are products that unify and integrate multiple security features integrated onto a single hardware platform. Qualification for inclusion within this category requires network firewall capabilities, network intrusion detection and prevention (IDP) and gateway anti-virus (AV) functionality.
All of these security features do not need to be utilised concurrently, but they do need to exist in the product. In fact, larger enterprises and service providers, offering managed security services, vary their use of the anti-virus firewall capabilities in their networks. Industry analysts attribute the rapid market adoption of UTM security appliances to the fact that the rise in blended threats requires a greater breadth of integrated functionality and deployment flexibility.
Altech Namitech unified threat management solutions provide:
* Firewall
* Anti-virus
