ZyWALL 50
Internet Security Gateway for
SOHO/Small Business
Internet Security has been recognized by today's SMB
and Enterprise companies as the prerequisite to daily
on-line business activities such as e-commerce and
online data transmission. Case after case of online
hacker attacks demonstrate how much a business can
suffer from a serious attack by a knowledgeable
intruder. How to minimize the damage from a targeted
attack was the challenge posed to the ZyXEL Security
Products Development Group. ZyXEL is proud to
introduce the solution, the ZyWALL 50 Internet Security
Gateway, developed for SOHO/Small Business. It is a
total Internet Security Solution. The ZyWALL 50 satisfies
the requirements of network environment security and
will meet the most demanding expectations an online
user might have of a firewall product.
B e n e f i t s
VPN Connection Support
The ZyWALL 50 VPN support allows a business to
establish a private tunnel over a public network between
its headquarters and branch offices or telecommuters.
The data is encrypted when traveling over the public
network to ensure secure transmission between two sites.
This application is a more economical replacement for
leased-line service.
Firewall Network Security
Always-on Internet service gives users the benefit of fast,
convenient, and time-saving online use. The main
drawback is that the more time one spends online,
the more susceptible their system is to a security breach.
To provide a network security solution, the ZyWALL 50
offers a powerful firewall capability, including Stateful
Packet Inspection and Denial of Service (DoS).
The ZyWALL 50 is the solution that provides a system
true network environment security while simultaneously
delivering high-speed networking performance.
Real -Time Attack Alert and Log System
Many of today's businesses have been victimized by the costly
theft of internal data. The ZyWALL 50 attack alert system
warns you in real time whenever there is an attack on your
network, allowing you to expeditiously repair any damage
caused by the intrusion and prevent further damage to your
network. A Log function will record where the attacker came
from, thus tracing who is responsible for the intrusion.
Content Filtering Management
By using the Content Filtering feature of the ZyWALL50,
schools and businesses can create and enforce Internet access
polices tailored to the specific needs of the organization.
The administrator selects content from a predefined list to
block or monitor, such as pornography, gambling, or racial
intolerance. Since content on the Internet is constantly
changing, the optional Content Filtering List Subscription
automatically updates the ZyWALL 50 with CyberPatrol URL
Lists on a weekly basis to ensure that access restrictions to
new and relocated sites are properly enforced.
Secured Default Configuration
The ZyWALL 50 has been developed to satisfy a variety of
organizations by providing strong firewall capability and full
VPN support. The level of security provided by the ZyWALL
50 is dependent on the specific configuration set by the
administrator. By default, the ZyWALL 50 provides a secure
configuration with a user-friendly interface. The interface
provides both the convenience of ease of installation and
quick configuration.
