Difference UTM Firewall & UTM Appliance

Firewalls come in the form of a software-based or as a hardware-based network security tool to deliver protection against security threats. The basic function of any firewall is to follow a set of standard rules. It checks the incoming and outgoing data flow with the archived records to check if the content is malicious or free of malware. If they are found malware free, they are permitted to pass through the network for the required user to access the data.
However, if the data is found malicious, the firewall filters off the malware from the data content.

Sometimes firewalls come attached to different types of routers to provide protection. Hardware-based firewalls are also known to perform routing functions.
