Web-based Reporting Utilities

What Is Unified Threat Management (UTM)?
Unified Threat Management (UTM) is an emerging trend in the network security marketplace. UTM appliances have evolved from traditional firewall / VPN products into a solution with many additional capabilities such as Gateway Anti-Virus / Anti-Spyware, Intrusion Prevention, and URL Filtering. In the past, these functions were handled by multiple systems. In a UTM environment, the hardware appliance is responsible for all security services, providing an integrated management, monitoring, and logging solution that streamlines deployment, maintenance, and cost.

Unified Threat Management Services
In addition to providing customers with one of the most complete security platforms in its class, your organization can further benefit by adding services such as Gateway Anti-Virus and Intrusion Prevention to protect your network from spyware, viruses, Web-based exploits, and other malware. With a state-of-the-art, dynamic, VPN management capability, and added DMZ support, PAETEC's Managed CPE Firewall brings a full UTM platform to your organization. With automatic updates managed by PAETEC, you can rest assured that your network is protected.

Gateway Anti-Virus with Intrusion Prevention Service
Stop known spyware, trojans, viruses, and Web-based exploits with robust, signature-based protection at the gateway.

Web URL Filtering
Increase productivity and decrease security risks by blocking HTTP and HTTPS access to malicious or inappropriate Web content. This is a category-based solution with the ability to create custom white / black lists, as well as control what types of files your employees download.

VPN Management

DMZ Management
PAETEC can completely offload the IT burden of managing complicated DMZ configurations for devices such as Web and e-mail servers, and set up specific security rules to protect both the DMZ and trusted security zones.
