What UTMStack is
UTMStack is an open-source unified threat management platform that combines SIEM and XDR. It covers log management and correlation, threat detection and response, threat intelligence, alert investigation, file classification, SOC AI-powered analysis, and security compliance. Its modules also include vulnerability management, access-rights auditing, automated incident response, endpoint protection, dark-web monitoring, and file tracking. UTMStack says its correlation engine processes data during ingestion before indexing to support real-time detection and reduce alert noise. The platform provides controls or reports for HIPAA, GLBA, GDPR, SOC, CMMC, ISO 27001, and PCI. Deployment choices include an ISO, an Ubuntu installer, a cloud SaaS tenant, virtualized environments, physical servers, and public-cloud virtual machines. Its v11 installation guide is designed for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and also notes Red Hat support. The Essential plan costs $238.80 a month, billed monthly; a free trial is listed as free. Deployments above 500 data sources or devices require secondary worker nodes for horizontal scaling.
