UTM & DLP

Hello,

We're planning on moving to a consolidated threat managment solution in the near future.

We have the following:
Blue Coat ProxySG server
Websense Whitelisting appliance
Code Green DLP (Data Leakage Prevention) appliance
Symantec Spam Email Gateway
The Intrusion Prevention System components of the Cisco ASA firewalls
The BotNet filter components of the Cisco ASA firewalls

What UTM out there would help me consolidate all of the above?

I have looked at Checkpoint, PA and Fortinet. The webfilter, antimalware, IPS components are easily available in all. The antispam and DLP components are not as robust as in a full appliance dedicated for just that one purpose. That is my research so far.

I'm looking for an all in one solution with HA. Any light on the subject would be appreciated.

Thanks

A list of popular UTM:

SonicWall      www.sonicwall.com
Juniper       www.juniper.net
Cisco       www.cisco.com
WatchGate      www.watchguard.com
CheckPoint      www.checkpoint.com
Fortinet      www.fortinet.com
Cyberroam      www.cyberoam.com
SmoothWall      www.smoothwall.net
zyWALL      www.zyxel.com
Untangle       www.untangle.com
astaro   www.astaro.com
ClearOS www.clearfoundation.com
PF www.pfsense.org
WALL m0n0.ch/wall
IPCop ipcop.org

I would check fortigate
http://www.fortinet.com/products/fortigate/index.html

As said, don't assume that technology will solve all know threats around data loss, because it wont. Technology solutions are only part of the story of DLP, IT Staff and CTO's are required that they understand the threats and how they work. knowledge of attack methods and IT vulnerbilities in the organisation  are more important  than knowing who is behind attacks or why, inside http://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/ you ll find good docs about Security and DLP.

This white paper discusses how this new DLP model aligns data discovery, classification, policy management, and security controls to your business requirements and processes.

Thank you all for your inputs. I know and understand that putting all my eggs in one basket is asking for it. The antispam and DLP components are most pressing for me in the UTM arena.

Which UTM would have the best of these 2 components playing well with the other blades?

I understand that a blade will not be able to take over the functionality of an appliance, but I'm specifically looking for a solution that leverages the DB we have with PII in assessing what is allowed out  and what is not.
