New Unified Threat Management gateway from Netgear

Netgear introduced the ProSecure UTM150 – a Unified Threat Management (UTM) gateway for businesses with around 150 users.

The new UTM150 delivers enhanced graphical reporting capabilities and automatic software and malware signature updates.

IT professionals can replace an existing VPN/firewall or router with a UTM in less than 30 minutes, ensuring protection against viruses, malware, spam, phishing attacks, DoS attacks and malicious embedded code. The UTM150 can even prevent productivity losses due to inappropriate online activity.

“Today, with many UTM vendors offering products that seem similar on the surface, it becomes even more important for customers to focus on how effective these solutions actually are at protecting mid-sized enterprise networks,” said Lawrence Pingree, research director for data center transformation and cloud security at Gartner. “IT decision-makers should also consider speed, capacity, reliability and ease of use when evaluating UTM devices.”

The NETGEAR ProSecure UTM150 is available now worldwide with a street price of $1,799 in the United States, including one year of web and email protection subscription services, 24/7 technical support and a lifetime warranty.
