Unified Threat Management

Question

This might be a simple question:

On what layers of the OSI model does Unified Threat Management work? And what devices do you recommend for using this?

Thanks, Dempsey

Dempsey, note that product recommendations are off-topic here, so none can be given. As for the rest, you might want to be more specific to get a *technical* answer. — the-wabbit, May 21 '13 at 08:27

"Unified Threat Management" is an IDC buzzword and not a technical term with a concise definition. The layers it works on are whatever layers the respective vendor's marketing decided it would work on - without even knowing what "ISO layers" are, that is.

For more buzzwords and a thorough marketing enema check out the Wikipedia article on UTMs.
