High-Performance VPN Concentrator Integrating Both IPSec and SSL VPN
The ZyWALL 1050 is an Internet Security Appliance engineered to provide a variety of security services on
top of a robust, hardware-accelerated platform.
By integrating both IPSec VPN and SSL VPN technologies, the ZyWALL 1050 allows organizations to
establish Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections amongst multiple locations such as remote branch
offices, business partner sites and even remote teleworkers connected to hotel hotspots.
Since communication channels are securely encrypted, information leakage or data theft can be mitigated
when transmitting confidential information over insecure networks such as Internet. In addition, the Hub
and Spoke VPN feature can dramatically reduce policy management overhead in a complex, multi-site
corporate network infrastructure.
Proactive Network Protection against Blended Threats
By integrating cutting-edge technologies on a robust platform, the ZyWALL 1050 is competent to provide
multi-layered protection for security-aware businesses.
Powered by Kaspersky Labs, the gateway anti-virus security service on ZyWALL 1050 has the world’s
shortest response time against emerging viruses and spywares; as a result, it helps stopping blended
threats on the network edge while keeping viruses/spywares out of corporate networks. With the built-in
SecuASIC co-processor, the ZyWALL 1050 can still deliver robust and reliable performance even under
heavy networking loads.
With the embedded signature-based IDP (Intrusion Detection and Prevention) engine, the ZyWALL 1050
performs L7 packet inspection for protocol/traffic anomaly or matched patterns to proactively provide
comprehensive Intrusion Detection and Prevention capability against potential worms, viruses, Trojans
horses and VoIP threats, etc.
In response to the ever-evolving threats, the ZyWALL 1050 can download the latest signature/pattern files
from the rock-solid ZSDN infrastructure and install them automatically to keep itself up-to-date.
