Zyxel Unified Security Gateway

In order to protect the broadband connections of small businesses and provide secure remote access, DLX Networks recommends the Zyxel USG (Unified Security Gateway). The USG can provide a wide range of protection functions to secure your network from worms, trojans, viruses and remote network attacks. The Zyxel USG series provide enterprise class security features tailored specifically for small businesses at an attractive price point.

Some benefits of the USG firewall series are:

Flexible VPN services

The Zyxel USG series provides remote connectivity options with IPSEC, SSL VPN and L2TP in a single device. This allows secure connectivity for remote users and business partners.

Fast UTM Performance

The USG series provides a high performance, deep packet inspection firewall coupled with Intrusion Dection and Prevention (IDP), content filtering, ICSA certified anti-virus, anti-spam and VPN.

Application Management

The USG appliances can control applications as required by your business environment. Examples of this are:

•  Identifying and restricting IM/P2P protocols such as allowing use of MSN messenger for chat, but restricting file transfer

•  Enforcing time based or application based bandwidth quotas

•  Prioritising critical applications such as VoIP to ensure optimal call quality

Redundancy and Availability

The USG appliances support high-availability features to ensure service continuity. An example of this is that the USG allows connections of multiple WAN links and uses load balancing features to optimise bandwidth. Two USG devices can be clustered so a single failure will not result in a loss of service. An extension card slot provides support for 3G connections.

VoIP Security

The Zyxel USG range helps to reduces risks associated with VoIP using a feature for SIP/H.323 application layer gateway functions. This ensures ports for call are only opened as required for the duration of particular calls.

Upgrades and Warranty

The Zyxel USG series has free firmware upgrades and is supported by a 5 year manufacturer warranty.
