Zyxel introduces new firewall for small business security

Many small companies are now struggling to cope with the growing risk of cyberattacks. For example, a recent study shows that 43% of unauthorized data access incidents occurred in small businesses. To address this problem, Zyxel today introduced its new ZyWALL ATP100 low-cost firewall, giving small businesses a unique smart security option. With its built-in cloud-based security service, the ZyWALL ATP100 rapidly receives information on new threats from an ever-growing database of cyber threats, using global security intelligence to protect local businesses. It allows you to effectively combat the most dangerous threats, zero-day threats.

All the power of intelligent security in one device

The ATP100 provides multilayered protection through cloud-based security services and remotely identifies billions of threat signatures via Cloud Query, an ever-growing database of threat data. The Cloud Query algorithm analyzes this database using artificial intelligence and helps companies identify the most dangerous threats and promptly block malicious code before it penetrates the corporate network.

Cyberattacks can wreak havoc on small businesses that typically lack the resources or infrastructure to repel threats or the computing power needed for effective security,” said Nathan Yen, vice president AVP , Zyxel Gateway Business Center. – Zyxel ATP firewalls unlock the benefits of cloud-based information security technology for small businesses, balancing protection coverage and performance without the need for expensive hardware.”.

Minimum effort and maximum impact

The firewall, among other cybersecurity features, utilizes the Zyxel IP Reputation Filter that automatically scans and blocks most network threats from suspicious IP threats without having to analyze each threat individually. This preventive protection feature significantly reduces protection system resource requirements and hardware workload, and saves company employees time by eliminating the need to manually enter compromised IP addresses to configure security policies.

A single solution for layered cybersecurity

Designed for smaller businesses on a shoestring budget, the Zyxel ATP100 firewall resists various types of threats, including botnets, and can block IP addresses depending on the severity of the threat. Additionally, with the Gold Security Pack, the ATP100 owner gets additional features to customize this firewall and track the threats that present the greatest risk to their company, including cyberattacks from the Web, exploits and spam. With these powerful features, the ZyWALL ATP100 delivers comprehensive IT security in a single solution.

A range of firewalls suitable for companies of all sizes

The ATP100 is the latest addition to Zyxel’s ATP200, ATP500 and ATP800 firewall product lines. This junior ATP model is designed to protect smaller companies with fewer than 25 employees. IP Reputation Filter will be available for all ATP firewall models with firmware version ZLD4.35, which was released in October 2019. The new Zyxel ZLD4 firmware version.35 implemented two-factor administrator authentication, AP Controller 3.40, integration with Microsoft Azure and more than 20 other security enhancements and the use of all ATP firewalls, providing the highest level of protection, functionality and user experience.
