Product description

Single Point of Management
• Designed specifically for businesses with limited IT resources, the ZyXEL USG performance series helps you connect, protect, and manage with reduced complexity. The unified security policy design offers easy, unified, and streamlined management of all the security features, while the integrated WLAN controller provides centralized management of up to 10 APs. All this is integrated into a single solution, making it easy for users to manage VPN, wireless and security all from one device.

Security
• It delivers enterprise-grade Next Generation Firewall security. It provides deep, extensive protection, and effective control of Web applications such as Facebook, Google Apps, and Netflix with such anti-malware protection mechanisms as firewall, antivirus, anti-spam, content-filtering, IDP, and application intelligence.

Unified Security Policy
• Unified security policy offers object-based management and a unified configuration interface for firewall and all security-related policies. You can easily apply all policy criteria to every UTM feature, reduce configuration time, and get a streamlined policy management.

Antivirus
• Powered by Kaspersky SafeStream II gateway antivirus, ZyXEL USGs provide comprehensive and real-time protection against malware threats before they enter the network. The gateway can identify and block over 650,000 viruses right at the gate and provide high-speed scanning with stream-based virus scanning technology.

Anti-Spam
• With a cloud-based IP reputation system, ZyXEL anti-spam can deliver accurate, zero-hour spam outbreak protection by analyzing up to the minute sender reputation data from highly diverse traffic sources. It can detect spam outbreaks in the first few minutes of emergence regardless of spam language or format.

Robust VPN
• The gateway supports high-throughput IPSec, L2TP over IPSec, and SSL VPN for a wide range of site-to-client and site-to-site VPN deployments. Reinforced with the advanced SHA-2 encryption, it provides secure VPN for business communications.

Fanless
• It features a robust fanless design to prevent dirt and dust from entering operating environments to cause potentially catastrophic failures. The fanless design offers zero-noise cooling and non-overheating features to ensure silent operation in small or quiet office environments.

Integrated WLAN Controller
• The integrated WLAN controller supports CAPWAP, and enables centralized authentication and access management of multiple APs in the network. The ZyXEL USG can manage two APs by default, and up to ten APs with license upgrade.

Application Intelligence
• The gateway can identify, categorize and control over 3,000 social, gaming, productivity, and other Web applications and behaviors. You can prioritize productive applications, throttle acceptable ones, and block unproductive applications to boost productivity and prevent bandwidth abuse.

Intrusion Detection and Prevention
• ZyXEL's IDP system uses Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) technology that can scan multiple layers and protocols to inspect vulnerabilities invisible to simple port and protocol-based firewalls. ZyXEL's IDP eliminates false positives with a database of malware signatures and provides effective protection against intrusions from unknown back doors.

Content Filtering
• ZyXEL content filtering helps screen access to websites that are not business related or malicious. With a massive, cloud-based database of over 140 billion URLs that are continuously analyzed and tracked, ZyXEL provides highly accurate, broad, and instant protection against malicious Web content.

Dual-WAN and Mobile Broadband
• It provides high Internet uptime with dual-WAN and mobile broadband support. The dual-WAN works with two Ethernet WAN connections for active-active load balancing or active-passive failover. Comprehensive mobile broadband USB modems are also supported for WAN backup.

VPN Application
• The branch offices, partners, and home users can deploy ZyXEL USG ZyWALLs for site-to-site IPSec VPN connections. Branch offices can additionally deploy IPSec VPN HA (load balancing and failover) for always online VPN connectivity. Remote users can securely access company resources with their computers or smartphones via SSL, IPSec, and L2TP over IPSec VPN. The headquarter USG/ZyWALL can also establish an IPSec VPN connection with Microsoft Azure for secured access to a variety of cloud-based applications.
