Last adaptation to the version: 12.5.0
- System requirement now 3GB RAM
- Adjustment of the number of users for virtual systems (09.2023)
- 08.2024
- Hypervisors also support Proxmox
Preamble
As of version 12.3, the requirements for operating the Securepoint NextGen UTM change.
Due to continuous further development and expansion of the protection mechanisms, use is generally recommended with systems of the third generation or newer.
Systems that cannot guarantee requirements for stable operation will automatically reduce the range of functions.
Thus, no virus scanner will be available on systems with less than 3GB memory.
After adjusting the working memory, the service is available again.
The possibility that hardware used in 24/7 operation could fail after many years of use is of course higher than with new hardware.
Securepoint also offers you the option "Protection Plus" to keep downtime at your customers as low as possible.
Only the hardware provided by us or one of the virtualization environments released by us should be used to operate Securepoint NextGen UTM.
We recommend the use on your own hardware only in combination with a virtualization solution approved by us. Installations on third-party hardware cannot be supported by our technical support.
System requirements
Supported Hardware
The following minimum requirements must be achieved in order to use the current UTM software.
- CPU: min. 1GHz
- RAM: min. 3GB No virus scanner is available on devices with less than 3GB RAM
- Hard disk (system): min. 4GB
Operation under v11 may be possible with Generation 1 devices, but is not recommended and not supported.

Supported Hypervisors
Securepoint NextGen UTM v11.8 currently supports the following virtualization environments:
- Microsoft Hyper-V
- VMWare vSphere
- KVM-based systems (Linux kernel from 2.6.20)
e.g. Proxmox (based on KVM with QEMU)
Only the current ISO image from the Securepoint reseller portal (https://my.securepoint.de) should be used as the installation medium.
