Secure Package Manager for UTM

Unified threat management system (UTM) is an integration of stand alone security products such as Firewall, IDS, Proxy, Antivirus etc. The proposed paper is for implementing a package management system for the UTM. Whenever a update is available for the different modules in UTM such as, an update released for antivirus or Firewall or IDS the package management system can be used for the update. The problem with the current system is the updates have to be installed manually by the user for every UTM implemented. The proposed system uses linux-s advanced packaging tool for managing the PACKAGE update, removal, etc. Additional modules are added for checking the integrity of the packages.
