Question on UTM

kisay quri

So I am trying to prepare for my retake of the Security+ and had some difficulty with what kind of software or security controls someone would put onto a UTM. Anyone have any ideas https://nox.tips/ https://xender.vip/? I feel like because it has firewall features that you would definitely have ACLs and the ability to block and activate ports as neede

    I'm no expert by any means but some of the features that would come to mind as a home user of the UTM are things like:

    A built-in Radius server for wifi authentication

    Intrusion Protection system,

    DNSSEC validation, 

    DPI (deep packet inspection) in the form of the web filter,

    VPN with SSL/IPSec ect. for secure remote access/ management

    I don't know if that answers your question, but  surely if you are retaking the Security+ exam you must have at least some background already.

    I think if you are into security and networking, you should get yourself a PC with dual LAN and one of the sophos access points, and try out the UTM/XG. Once you get used to it, it becomes a way of life and you won't want to go back the boring home "ISP modem/router/wifi" setup.

    Why would you not use the resources about UTMs posted all over the internet, let alone the Sophos site?
