Threat Management
Threat management identifies a threat to or weakness in your infrastructure,
and helps you take immediate actions — preventing attacks
or incidents before they negatively affect your organization. According
to research company IDC, threat management security appliances combine
firewalling, antivirus, and intrusion detection and prevention in
a single operating system with a limited applications set and no
user software installation as a way of overcoming installation,
management, and performance headaches that have characterized some
of today's ad-hoc systems.

An
Integrated Approach to Threat Management
by Steven Drew, Help Net Security, September 11, 2003
Effective Threat Management embodies the actions organizations must
take to defend themselves against today's ever-present cyber-threats.
These actions must include fortifying the environment through proper
threat research and scanning, monitoring the network infrastructure
for signs of malicious activity, responding to any incidents that
do occur and, finally, conducting incident analysis through data
mining to discover areas that need additional fortification. Only
by developing an integrated Threat Management program will organizations
truly be able to achieve enterprise-wide intrusion prevention and
protection.
