These security measures are enhanced with SSL inspection, which helps block threats that are hidden in SSL encrypted connections and facilitates deeper policy enforcement.

Integrated with Zyxel AP Controller technology, the Series enables businesses to easily scale up the WLAN and to provide seamless Wi-Fi coverage in places like meeting rooms and guest reception areas.

Benefits:

Safer, more reliable VPN connections

Faster processors today have vastly boosted the capabilities of attackers to decrypt VPN tunnels. Legacy VPN cryptographic algorithms like Message Digest 5 (MD5) and Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA-1) are no longer sufficient to guarantee secure outbound communications. With supports to the more advanced Secure Hash Algorithm 2 (SHA-2), the VPN Firewall provides the safest VPN connections in its class to ensure maximum security for business communications.

The complete range of Zyxel VPN Firewall delivers reliable, non-stop VPN services with dual-WAN failover and fallback support. With two WAN connections—one primary and one for redundancy—the Zyxel VPN Firewall automatically switches to the backup connection should the primary link fail, and automatically switches back to the primary connection once it is back online.

To support dynamic, mobile business operations in today’s BYOD (bring your own device) business environments, the VPN Firewall offers unlimited business mobility with Layer-2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) VPN for mobile devices. The VPN Firewall supports L2TP/IPSec VPN on a wide variety of mobile Internet devices running the iOS, Android and Windows mobile platforms.

Best TCO for access expansion

People expect network access regardless of time or location. As a result, hotspots are in demand in an everexpanding assortment of locations. The USG2200-VPN integrated with Zyxel AP Controller technology enables users to manage APs from a centralized user interface. In addition, Zyxel Hotspot Management delivers a unified solution for business networks with user-friendly tools like Billing System, Walled Garden, Multiple Authentication, 3rd Party Social Login and User Agreement. With ZyWALL USG2200-VPN, businesses can now deploy or expand a managed WiFi network with minimal effort.
