Wireless UTM Security
UTM wireless technology adds a critical layer of protection to wireless LANs by integrating security services such as antivirus, intrusion prevention (IPS), web filtering, antispam, and traffic shaping. UTM security gateways work with wireless access points from any vendor to mitigate existing weaknesses and supply complete, high-performance security for any WLAN deployment. UTM Wifi security gateways with built-in wireless access points and broadband wireless capabilities support SOHO/ROBO, telecommuter, and POS deployments. Both solutions are backed by the UTM security subscription services, which deliver continuous, automatic updates for antivirus/antimalware, intrusion prevention, Web filtering, and antispam services.
Wireless Technology Benefits
