Replacing a UTM in an SMB - With What?

@scottalanmiller - Yeah, I figured that is all it was. My concern was with how Ubiquiti didn't really respond with anything substantive right away.
No reason for them to respond. There was nothing to respond to, that's my point. It was a fake report, they can't stop and respond to things like that, it's petty. Think about all those fake "And you'll never guess what happened next..." posts on Facebook ads. They are all fake, every one of them. They all look the same. And the companies, products, or things that they make claims about don't take the time to look at them and certainly not to respond. Ubiquiti is not in a position of needing to respond or even acknowledge a claim like that. The people repeating it are in a position of needing to justify why they are repeating a claim that, if read, is clearly made up and the publisher is openly admitted to being financially paid to do those things (he's a short investor.)

Is no one using IPS/IDS?

In the SMB? Many do. With devices similar to the Sophos.
Personally, I feel they are nothing but a waste of resources.

@jaredbusch Where do you stand on proxies?

They are useless in the modern era of SSL everything and high speed internet connections. Proxies used to be great for conserving bandwidth as well as for filtering traffic with squid. but that was before everything was SSL. With it all SSL, you have no valid method to inspect the traffic.

@wrx7m We have a Watchguard XTM 515 here. A bit old but is quite powerful and never uses much of the cpu, even with IPS/Spam/Webblocker/Gateway AV/botnet detection/Reputation features enabled. Still gets software updates often, support is quite helpful.

@momurda - Thanks. I am trying to see if I can separate it out.

You could drop an Untangle system on your system in front of your router.

behind your router I meant.

@jaredbusch - I thought that is what you meant but did a double-take. LOL
