Answer: The UTM represents a single point of failure

Step-by-step explanation:

Unified threat management is a method used in information security which has to do with the installation of a single hardware or software that provides several security functions.

Even though it's easy to manage from a single device, the disadvantage is that within the information technology infrastructure, there is a single point of failure.
