Solution Brief 
McAfee UTM Firewall
Create A Secure Distributed Office Environment with McAfee UTM Firewall
As organizations deploy anti-malware engines, anti-spam solutions, and application layer firewalls at their 
corporate offices, security staff want their remote users covered by the same type of protection technologies. 
One of the best ways to accomplish this is to implement a scaled-down, more cost-effective solution at the 
remote locations, and route all traffic through the corporate office via a secure tunnel.
UTM Firewall’s high availability and VPN failover capability enable you to ensure users always have 
secure, seamless connections to resources at corporate headquarters. UTM Firewall detection services 
can identify if a connection is down and automatically bring up a secure VPN tunnel until the primary 
connection is available again—completely transparent to end users.

McAfee UTM Firewall Family Benefits, Features, and Advantages
Enterprise-class
McAfee UTM Firewall’s configurable firmware is based on embedded Linux. This design provides a 
virtually unlimited range of precise tuning options for such elements as Quality of Service (QoS), traffic 
shaping, VPN tunnel topology, routing, and fine-grained firewall rule sets.
UTM Firewalls support both business- and consumer-grade broadband, ADSL, dedicated circuits from T-1 
and up, narrowband modems, Wi-Fi, and 3G wireless options. Advanced networking features include 
support of port- and tag-based VLAN, OSPF, BGP, RIP, RIPv2, RAS, RADIUS, TACACS+, MS-CHAP V2, and 
more. Web and DNS caching is also available.
Failover and Load Balancing
In addition to the ability to leverage 3G wireless networks for high availability and failover solutions, 
McAfee UTM Firewall family products are also equipped with a serial port to ensure uninterrupted 
connectivity. If the broadband Internet connection is lost, UTM Firewall products can automatically create 
a new narrowband connection using an external ISDN or analog modem. The SG560, SG560U, SG560D, 
SG565, SG580, and SG720 appliances support multiple broadband ports to ensure uninterrupted WAN 
access and maximum bandwidth.
Virtual Private Network (VPN)
Whether connecting site to site or with mobile users, UTM Firewalls support the most popular types of 
VPN technology, including PPTP, L2TP, GRE, and IPSec. Even the smallest UTM Firewall security appliances 
include a robust IPSec VPN solution for securely interconnecting multiple offices across the public 
Internet without investing in a dedicated wide area network. The UTM Firewall VPN configurations 
support 3DES, AES, and other popular commercial encryption algorithms. Unique technology 
called “VPN offloading” allows multiple UTM Firewall appliances to load balance and act as a VPN 
concentrator, managing any number of VPN tunnels.
SG560, SG560U and SG560D
Developed for slightly larger offices 
where higher performance is 
needed than the SG310. It includes 
a metal case, hardware encryption 
acceleration for better VPN 
performance and port based VLAN 
capability.  Both SG560U and SG560D 
models include a USB port for 3G 
wireless support, and the McAfee 
UTM Firewall SG560D includes an 
internal ADSL2/2+ modem.
SG565
—With the adoption of wireless 
LANs (WLANs), organizations of 
all sizes benefit from the ability to 
access information when away from 
a desk. The McAfee UTM Firewall 
SG565 extends the capabilities of 
the SG560 to include 802.11b/g 
WLAN support and two USB host 
ports. USB ports allow you to expand 
on-board storage, or even provide 
3G network access through USB 3G 
wireless modems—either as a primary 
connection or a high-availability 
option. The SG565 also offers IDS/IPS, 
and web caching.
SG580
—The McAfee UTM Firewall 
SG580 consolidates firewall, intrusion 
prevention, and secure VPN access. 
Its networking capabilities enable 
small offices and branch offices of 
large enterprises to safely and easily 
connect their networks of PCs, PDAs, 
web and application servers to the 
Internet via broadband circuits from 
T-1 to T-3 and xDSL, or narrowband 
connections (modem and ISDN). 
Includes up to five separate security 
zones, link failover and Internet 
session load balancing, and built-in 
web proxy cache.
