application usages are eagerly needed. Without an effective solution to control, optimize or block
social and some other Web applications, businesses would risk not only losing productivity but
also exposing company network to new threats.

protection and consolidated policy enforcement for medium- to
large-sized businesses and campuses. The ZyXEL USGs provides
