Abstract
Security hardware provides security of IT assets. It mainly includes firewall
equipment, VPN appliances, authentication devices, Intrusion Prevention and
Detection (IPD) system, Unified Threat Management (UTM) devices, and secure
content management hardware. Due to financial turmoil and recession, several
companies have reduced their IT expenditure and budget. However, the security
hardware market has not been affected as various companies and government
organizations are still continuing to invest in IT security infrastructure in
order to develop robust IT system. Companies are learning to keep pace with
changing security technologies and best practices to combat the escalation of
threats and vulnerabilities. The industry is moving towards delivering
security solutions through multi-functional devices rather than using a
firewall plus separate appliances to protect against specific threats such as
anti-virus or content filtering. This is leading to emergence of UTM, which is
a dynamically updated gateway anti-virus, anti-spyware, and intrusion
prevention system. This is one of the best methods of keeping network security
protected against new emerging threats.
