Traditional firewalls can only block/accept traffic based on IP addresses and ports and offer little protection outside of that. This approach is quickly becoming obsolete in today’s Internet where many applications send/receive traffic over ports that are typically allowed by traditional firewalls. The built-in application firewall of the UTM appliance overcomes the limitations of yesterday’s firewall and allows the device to monitor, control, and block hundreds of applications such as Skype, YouTube and Facebook; helping enhance employee productivity and enforce network usage policies.
