Zyxel Communications has introduced a new affordable firewall that helps small and medium-sized businesses protect their networks and data from a variety of threats, including zero-day vulnerabilities vulnerabilities and malware for which no security mechanism has yet been developed that traditional IT security solutions are unable to detect.
Zyxel ATP: Advanced Threat Protection
“Last year’s epidemic of ransomware attacks showed that the potential victims of cybercriminals are not limited to those companies handling sensitive information and large amounts of cash, stressed Dean Shih, senior vice president AVP of Zyxel Gateway SBU. – Against these unknown threats, traditional cybersecurity solutions are useless and the number of these threats is growing. In the second half of last year alone there was a 40% increase in the number of sandbox solutions. Until now, most SMBs have been unable to apply the latest technology to protect against these threats due to the high cost.”.
ZyWALL ATP Series with layered security removes this limitation. One of the major benefits of ATP is the sandboxing capability to process suspicious data packets in a secure, isolated environment and determine if the packets pose a threat before they reach the network.
However, for many threats, it is more effective to use traditional solutions rather than a sandbox. Zyxel ATP, like traditional protections, analyzes data packets at the ingress and verifies the integrity of their signatures. But in addition to receiving regular updates from new secure signatures from trusted sources like Bitdefender, the Zyxel ATP receives a steady stream of updates on all new threats identified by all other ATP devices running around the world.
Free gold-plated one year subscription
To build a comprehensive solution that can neutralize threats in any form, Zyxel ATP is enhanced with seven additional layers of protection: web-security content filters and bots , application and e-mail security, intrusion detection and prevention Intrusion Detection and Prevention , blocking packets by geographic address of the sender, managed service for access points and launch in the near future cloud service SecuReporter to analyze the security of your network and presents it in an easy to understand and use.
The Zyxel ATP comes with a one year “gold” subscription, so you have plenty of time to try out all the firewall features. ATP200 is designed for small business customers, whereas the ATP500 is more powerful and suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. These models provide throughputs of 1800 Mbps and 2600 Mbps respectively and are recommended for 1-50 and 50-100 users.
