Integration of ATP Series Senior Firewalls into Zyxel Nebula Centralized Network Management System Ecosystem

On October 5, 2021, Zyxel Networks announced the inclusion of senior ATP series firewalls in the ecosystem of the Zyxel Nebula centralized network management system. Now SMBs and service providers will effectively manage network security and optimize network administrators in the face of a massive transition to hybrid operation.

Include ATP Series Senior Firewalls in Zyxel Nebula Centralized Network Management System Ecosystem

According to the company, in many companies, managing the cybersecurity system of the network requires tedious monitoring operations of many components at different sites, requiring precious time. Due to the massive transition of people to hybrid mode, IT specialists of companies and system integrators faced problems managing distributed networks and remote users. In addition, cybercriminals are in a hurry to take advantage of the opportunities for attacks that are opened to them by distributed networks and remote work of personnel. All this greatly optimizes security risks.

A recent study found that 88% of small firms lack reliable protection against cyber attacks. Most SMB companies, due to a limited budget, cannot implement a comprehensive enterprise-class information security system or they do not have a cybersecurity specialist.

To solve these problems, Zyxel released an update to the firmware of its flagship ATP firewall series. The update allows you to manage the ATP series devices directly from Nebula, but also retains the traditional local management method. The sandbox functionality and reputation filter will help the business ensure the safety of its main office. The Collaborative Threat Detection and Response (CDR) feature provides access to a continuously updated cloud database containing billions of signatures. In addition, ATP firewalls will protect the network and data from zero-day attacks that are unable to detect traditional information security solutions. ATP was the second series of Zyxel firewalls compatible with Nebula after USG FLEX. Usually, ATP is used to protect a central or large office, and USG FLEX is used to protect small offices and branches.

To ensure the safe operation of remote users, network administrators can use the wide functionality of the Nebula Control Center to directly deploy the VPN Zyxel SecuExtender client. SecuExtender is developed on various client devices, including desktop PERSONAL COMPUTER, and laptops smartphones. tablets This is required to implement two-factor authentication and build secure tunnels connecting the employee's office and work unit. With SecuExtender support in Nebula, network administrators will centrally manage the protection of all client devices. Moreover, this will allow you to implement a single security policy that will work regardless of where the client device is used.

With the latest updates, our Nebula customers can centrally manage more than 60 different network device models - firewalls, switches, and access points - from the cloud from one platform . As a result, SMBs have many options that they will apply depending on their specific needs and deployment scenarios. told Gordon Yang, president of Zyxel Networks

In addition to ATP, Nebula has added USG20-VPN entry-level firewall. And the recently released entry-level access points of the WiFi 6 NWA50AX and NWA55AXE standard, which will be available in Russia and the CIS by the end of 2021, are already compatible with Nebula.

2018: Presentation of the Zyxel ATP200 and APP500

On September 25, 2018, Zyxel Communications introduced an affordable firewall that allows SMB companies to protect their networks and data from various threats, including zero-day vulnerabilities (vulnerabilities, as well as malware against which security mechanisms have not yet been developed) that cannot detect traditional information security solutions.

Zyxel ATP is a universal solution in which attacks integrated a scalable sandbox based on clouds and additional layers of protection are used to detect and block both known and unknown.

One of the main advantages of ATP is the sandbox, which allows you to process suspicious data packets in a secure sandbox and determine whether they pose a danger before these packets enter the network.

However, traditional solutions are more effective in protecting against many threats. Zyxel ATP, like traditional security, analyzes data packets at the input and checks the integrity of their signature. But in addition to regularly receiving updates from secure signatures from reliable sources such as Bitdefender, Zyxel ATP receives a continuous stream of updates about all emerging threats identified by all other ATP devices operating around the world.

Zyxel ATP is enhanced with seven additional layers of protection:

• web-security (filters content and), boats
• application and email security,
• Intrusion Detection and Prevention
• blocking packets at the geographical address of the sender,
• managed service for access points,
• cloud service SecuReporter.

The ATP200 is designed for small business customers, and the more powerful ATP500 is suitable for both small and medium-sized enterprises. These models provide 1800 and 2600 Mbps performance, respectively, and are recommended for 1-50 and 50-100 users.

The ATP200 firewall will go on sale in Russia on October 8, 2018. The manufacturer recommended ATP200 price is 77,000 rubles, ATP500 - 96,500 rubles.
