Norbert Kiss, vice president of WatchGuard in Asia-Pacific, described XTM as the new generation of the unified threat management (UTM) solution in the performance scale level.

Kiss told Computerworld Philippines that XTM is the next level of performance of UTM in terms of scalability, high security, investment protection and end-user choice.

The executive said XTM addresses the challenge of giving businesses threat management solutions that not only adapt, but can proactively deal with future and unknown threats so that high security is always maintained.

"We're addressing the future of security. We're moving from UTM to XTM, the fitting security in these times of crisis," Kiss said, adding that XTM offers the ability to add or to extend.
