What is UTM? UTM = Unified Threat Management; A combination of several network security counter-measures traditionally sold as separate technology through different vendors. UTM combines security technologies such as Firewall, Intrusion Detection System (IDS)/Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), Antivirus, Antispyware, VPN, Web Filtering and Anti-spam into one integrated device. The best UTM devices accomplish integration by developing products within the company instead of having to depend on outside vendors and then reintegrate the independent technology.
Why are Fortinet products a superior UTM solution?

FortiGate platforms also leverage the FortiOS™ security operating system to tightly integrate with the FortiASIC processors and other hardware to provide a comprehensive and high-performance array of fully integrated and proprietary security and networking functions including:

What is a network?
A network is means of connecting two or more similar objects together to transfer information, such as a telephone system. Connecting telephones together creates a network by which we can all use to communicate verbally. Computers use a similar method to transmit data to each other.

What is LAN, WAN, WLAN,
VLAN, VOIP, WIFI ?
LAN = Local Area Network; a network of local( usually the same building) devices
WAN = Wide Area Network; a network of devices not in the same building and often not in the same town
WLAN = Wireless Local Area Network; the same as a LAN but using wireless technology instead of direct wired lines
VLAN = Virtual Local Area Network; a manipulation of network traffic to simulate multiple seperate physical networks, used to isolate different network data
VOIP = Voice over Internet Protocol; Internet Protocol is the language by which computers communicate, VOIP converts our voice into data and sends that data in a streamed format to a receiving unit to be converted back into audible sound.
WIFI = originally being an abreviation for Wireless Fidelity, now simply is a reference to WLAN.
