Highlights
The UTM Service is separated into two main packages-Protection and Content-which correspond to the protection capabilities available from most UTM appliances. The Protection package supports and manages intrusion prevention systems (IPS) and firewalls designed to block traditional attacks like worms, Trojans and intruders. The Content package provides management and support for Web filtering, anti-spam and anti-virus technology (where available). The Content package helps organizations filter unsolicited e-mail and objectionable Web content, and protects against phishing scams, spyware and viruses. Some of the benefits of UTM Service from IBM include:
- Multiple service levels and packages designed for organizations of various sizes, with optional add-ons such as live monitoring.
- Expert management and monitoring of UTM appliances.
- Automated log storage and archiving processes designed to meet regulatory requirements.
- Access to early-warning security intelligence from the IBM Virtual Security Operations Center (SOC).
