The problem is growing exponentially in recent years, as network operators are forced to integrate additional components to overcome growing security issues. To mitigate this growing problem and in turn reducing the management complexity, organizations of all sizes and mainly SMBs are adopting Unified Threat Management (UTM) solutions.

Such solutions are being used to replace intensive point security solutions, thereby saving cost and energy consumption. Initially these solutions were used to cater small organizations, but due to increase in number of features and applications in the unified threat management market, wherein UTM can be leveraged, trend of adopting such appliances and services is increasingly getting skewed towards mid-sized and enterprise level organizations as well.

Unique feature about a Unified Threat Management solution is its integration capability. Typically, a UTM solution can integrate with standard network configuration methodologies and technology standards. The other major benefits of UTM Solutions are ease of deployment, added simplicity, troubleshooting ease, reduced complexity and better performance.
