ProSecure Unified Threat Management (UTM) Appliance The UTM provides advanced IPSec and SSL VPN technologies for secure and simple remote connections. The use of Gigabit Ethernet LAN and WAN ports ensures extremely high data transfer speeds. The UTM is a plug-and-play device that can be installed and configured within minutes. Key Features and Capabilities The UTM provides the following key features and capabilities: • For the single WAN port models, a single 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet WAN port. For the multiple WAN port models, dual or quad 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet WAN ports for load balancing or failover protection of your Internet connection, providing increased system reliability or increased data rate. • Built-in four- or six-port 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet LAN switch for extremely fast data transfer between local network resources. • Wireless module (UTM9S only) for either 2.4-GHz or 5-GHz wireless modes. • xDLS module (UTM9S only) for ADSL and VDSL. • Advanced IPSec VPN and SSL VPN support. • Depending on the model, bundled with a one-user license of the NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Client software (VPN01L). • Advanced Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall with multi-NAT support. • Patent-pending Stream Scanning technology that enables scanning of real-time protocols such as HTTP. • Comprehensive web and email security, covering six major network protocols: HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SMTP, POP3, and IMAP. • Malware database containing hundreds of thousands of signatures of spyware, viruses, and other malware threats. • Very frequently updated malware signatures, hourly if required. The UTM can automatically check for new malware signatures as frequently as every 15 minutes. • Multiple antispam technologies to provide extensive protection against unwanted mail. • Easy, web-based wizard setup for installation and management. • SNMP manageable. • Front panel LEDs for easy monitoring of status and activity. • Flash memory for firmware upgrade. • Internal universal switching power supply.

ProSecure Unified Threat Management (UTM) Appliance

The UTM provides advanced IPSec and SSL VPN technologies for secure and simple

remote connections. The use of Gigabit Ethernet LAN and WAN ports ensures extremely

high data transfer speeds.

The UTM is a plug-and-play device that can be installed and configured within minutes.

Key Features and Capabilities

The UTM provides the following key features and capabilities:

•

For the single WAN port models, a single 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet WAN port.

For the multiple WAN port models, dual or quad 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet

WAN ports for load balancing or failover protection of your Internet connection, providing

increased system reliability or increased data rate.

•

Built-in four- or six-port 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet LAN switch for extremely fast

data transfer between local network resources.

•
