Stack can provide state of the art intrusion prevention technology for in-depth filtering and protecting against more than 6,000 types of attack as well as zero day attacks.

Unified Threat Management (UTM) is needed today because the environment is constantly evolving and changing. To make matters worse, threats and vulnerabilities are also constantly evolving.

Without UTM, known vulnerabilities can be exploited and used to compromise your system. New vulnerabilities are discovered all of the time. many are closed off by such things as Windows Updates but as we all know loop-holes always exist. Every new technology, product, or system brings with it a new generation of attacks. A successful attack may cause production downtime, sabotage of critical information, theft of confidential information, cash, or other assets, or even negative public relations that may affect a company's share price.
