10. What is Next-
Generation?
(XTM = Next-Generation UTM) XTM platforms will take
security appliances beyond traditional boundaries by
vastly expanding security features, networking
capabilities and management flexibility.
Firewalls need to evolve to be more proactive in
blocking new threats, such as botnets and targeted
attacks. Enterprises need to update their network
firewall and intrusion prevention capabilities to
protect business systems as attacks get more
sophisticated.
