Price-performance key in threat management


When computers are connected to the Internet, there will always be somebody who would be interested to lay his hands on precious resources such as data, network or even control of the machines. In the real world, machines don’t fight back. Naturally, security compromises occur.
As an entrepreneur or technology head when you sit down with your technical team to pinpoint how the intruder got in, it could that one of your employees unintentionally ‘left one door’ just enough for someone to swoop in. The problem occurs when there are many doors and hence each doorkeeper has to be alert. This is where convergence to a single solution comes handy. “A unified threat management (UTM) is the single answer to all these and many more such worries,” says Mr Sunil Sapra, Country Manager (India & SAARC) of Watchguard Technologies, New Delhi.
