Fortress UTM
Fortress plans to debut its Fortress UTM at CES 2017, which the company is calling “the first residential unified threat management appliance.” That is, the device is aimed at making routers in the home hacker-proof—and by extension, protecting smart-home devices from outside threats. The new Fortress UTM appliance provides intrusion detection and prevention, as well as anti-virus and firewall for all smart devices that are connected to Wi-Fi and Ethernet. The device also features a large touch screen for easy set up and threat detection/notification.
