Zyxel’s new firewall line that finally gives SMBs a cost-effective way to protect their networks and their data—even from zero-day attacks that fly under the radar of conventional security solutions.
Zyxel ATP: Advanced threat protection
“Last year’s ransomware epidemic was a warning that you don’t need to handle sensitive information or large sums of cash to be targeted,” said Dean Shih, senior AVP of Zyxel’s Gateway SBU. “Compounding the problem are unknown threats. These can’t be stopped by conventional security solutions and they’re growing fast—up 40% in the second half of last year. Until now, the cutting-edge tech needed to fend off these threats has been prohibitively expensive for most SMBs.”
This barrier to entry is no more with the ZyWALL ATP series and its multi-layer protection. On the front line is sandboxing, which executes unknown and potentially dangerous data packets in a safe, concealed environment to determine whether they’re safe before letting them in—or not.
Many threats don’t make it to the sandbox. Like most security solutions, Zyxel ATP assesses incoming data packets by checking the integrity of their signature. But in addition to receiving regular updates of newly flagged signatures from trusted sources like Bitdefender, Zyxel ATP also receives a continuous stream of updates for every new threat identified by every other ATP firewall worldwide.
“Over the past five to ten years, ATP Firewall has become more powerful and user-friendly, we are Zyxel India believe in innovation and make sure client data is secured with this new cutting-edge technology”, said Gary Chen, Managing Director, Zyxel India.
One-year free gold subscription
Zyxel ATP comes with a one-year gold subscription out of the box, giving users time to get to know each feature. The ATP200 is more tailored toward small business whereas the ATP500 can fill the needs of both small and medium-sized enterprises, boasting throughput of 1,800 and 2,600 Mbps and recommended user numbers of 1–50 and 50–100, respectively.
