UTM (Unified Threat Management) is a term used to describe a security strategy that consolidates the use of multiple security technologies into a single platform. UTM platforms can include firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems, and user identity and access management solutions.

UTM platforms are designed to provide administrators with a centralized view of security threats and configuration changes. This allows administrators to prioritize and deploy resources where they are most needed.

UTM platforms are also useful for automating the deployment of security solutions. This can help reduce the time required to deploy new security measures and help ensure that security policies are enforced consistently across an organization.

The main difference between UTM and firewall technologies is that UTM platforms are designed to consolidate the use of multiple security technologies into a single platform. Firewall technologies are designed to protect individual systems from outside threats.
