"While I have heard of the concept of Unified Threat Management (UTM) and read some information about it, I am not first-hand familiar with this approach to network security nor have I used it in my previous roles. However, I strive to stay abreast of developments in the network security field and find it easy to learn about new technologies and adopt proven solutions into my network security strategy. I'm confident I can become competent in UTM and implement it into your network."

This is another technical question which the interviewer is using to test your knowledge, discover more about your experience and determine if you make it a practice to keep up with trends in the network security space. You should be able to answer this, but if you can't simply explain that while this is something you are unfamiliar with, you are eager to learn and expand your expertise.

"Unified Threat Management, or UTM, is described as the 'next-generation firewall.' In addition to a firewall (Class 1-5,) it incorporates intrusion prevention, antivirus software, data loss prevention policies, and content filtering. Together, this solution provides the most secure network environment an organization can attain."
