What is unified security management?
USM is often conflated with Unified threat
management,
UTM, which, although similar, offers fewer functions than USM.
Unified security management, USM, is a single-solution approach to cybersecurity that
proffers multiple security solutions rather than the traditional single-point
solution to each type of issue. USM offers combined cybersecurity tools and
functionalities at a single point on the network.

USM is often conflated with Unified threat management, UTM, which, although similar,
offers fewer functions than USM. UTM focuses on the combined solutions related to
threat management, like penetration testing or behaviour analytics. At the same
time, USM is more concerned with the absolute security of the network, not just
threat management.
Before USM, cybersecurity companies ran each security solution separately, like
vulnerability assessment or behaviour monitoring. With the unification offered in
USM, such companies can multiply their security levels, conduct security assessments
concurrently and simplify their security functions while merging them into one unit.
