5. Zyxel ATP500 & Gold licence 1J.
The ATP500 from Zyxel is an Advanced Threat Protection firewall designed for companies with high security requirements. Cloud intelligence elevates network protection to a whole new level, especially against new and unknown threats. The firewalls support well-known Zyxel security services such as web and application security, malware blockers, etc., as well as sandboxing and botnet filtering. An appealing ATP dashboard provides a quick overview of currently detected threats. With the latest software and hardware, the ATP firewall delivers very high performance, even when all security features are in use.
Cloud intelligence receives unknown files or user patterns from requests across all ATP firewalls. It then identifies and archives the inspection results in the cloud threat database. The highest-rated threats are shared with all ATP firewalls, ensuring that they are continuously protected against new unknown threats. With real-time cloud synchronization, cloud intelligence is continuously evolving into a security defense ecosystem. All ATP firewalls are synchronized with cloud intelligence and adaptively respond to every new threat.
Sandboxing utilizes an isolated environment in the cloud to analyze unknown files that cannot be identified by existing local security tools such as antivirus software. Sandboxing evaluates the behavior of files in an isolated environment to detect potential threats. This approach allows for the detection of completely new and unknown malware, preventing it from entering a network. The cloud sandbox of the ATP firewall series, in conjunction with cloud intelligence, provides optimal protection against all types of zero-day attacks.
6. Zyxel ATP200, ATP firewall with sandbox incl. gold license for 1 year
Cyberattacks are multiplying today in large numbers, with various forms of threats developing, including crypto-jacking, malware, an increasing spread of ransomware variants, and many more dangers. The ZyWALL ATP firewall is equipped with Smart Cloud Intelligence. This guarantees uninterrupted, seamless protection against all these highly advanced persistent threats and provides ultimate, in-depth protection against unknown attacks in the future. Multilayer protection through standard bundled security services can block malicious and suspicious data transfers, ensuring the proper functioning of your business network. Zyxel Cloud Intelligence identifies unknown files from all ATP firewalls, collects the results in a database, and provides daily updates to all ATP firewalls.
This transforms every new threat into new information. Thus, the security ecosystem continuously evolves and adapts to new, highly advanced attacks at any time. Sandboxing is an isolated cloud environment that contains unknown file types to identify new malware types that cannot be detected by traditional static security mechanisms. This enables protection against new attack variants on the same day. The ATP firewall dashboard provides user-friendly overviews of traffic and threat statistics. Users can also conduct further comprehensive threat analyses with the help of SecuReporter. The ATP firewall dashboard displays a traffic overview since the last reboot, as well as detailed threat statistics from the past seven days, including the number of hits.
