Today Clavister, the leading provider of emerging security technologies and the vendor of the world’s first commercial UMA security gateway, announces its xUTM Technology which will set a new standard in network security and offers best-in-breed solutions for critical environments.

xUTM - Extended Unified Threat Management - is a completely new concept designed by Clavister in co-operation with some of the world’s leading telecom equipment manufacturers. The new technology has been designed to overcome the problems and limitations that kept the telecom industry, service providers and enterprise customers from reaping the benefits of UTM solutions.

"When Clavister’s research department first started looking into UTM they realized that a standard UTM product would never cut it for the organizations who today rely on Clavister to provide best-in-breed technologies for critical environments. Extensive research resulted in the xUTM concept which surpasses all expectations and will transform the way these companies look at security gateways", said John Vestberg, Vice President of Technology at Clavister AB.

Clavister’s xUTM products includes, in addition to the traditional UTM offering, high performance with multi-gigabit capacity, best-in-breed services in each sub technology and true application control that far exceeds any former known P2P / IM control capabilities. "I’m proud to say that Clavister has been able to develop a highly unique and advanced
threat mitigation technology that will not only help our customers to minimize the attack surface but to do so with the lowest possible TCO. We believe that Clavister’s xUTM products will set a completely new standard in network security and that organizations will be able to focus on provisioning of core business services rather then worrying about security", said Peter Johansson, President and CEO at Clavister.
