High-Performance VPN Concentrator Integrating Both IPSec VPN and SSL VPN
ZyWALL USG 1000 is a Unified Security Gateway 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 USG 1000 allows organizations to
establish Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections amongst multiple locations such as remote branch
offices, business partner sites and even a remote teleworker getting connected in a potentially unsafe
hotel hotspot.
Communication channels are securely encrypted so that information leakage/data theft can be mitigated
when transmitting confidential information over insecure networks, such as the Internet.
The Hub and Spoke VPN feature is capable of reducing policy management overhead dramatically 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 USG 1000 is competent to
provide multi-layered protection for security-aware businesses.
The gateway anti-virus security service of the ZyWALL USG 1000 is powered by Kaspersky Labs, whose
technology boasts the world’s shortest response time against emerging viruses and spyware. As a result,
it helps stopping blended threats at the network edge while keeping viruses/spyware out of corporate
networks. With a SecuASIC co-processor built-in, the ZyWALL USG 1000 can deliver robust and reliable
performance under real-world networking loads.
With the embedded signature-based IDP (Intrusion Detection and Prevention) engine, the ZyWALL USG
1000 performs L7 packet inspection for protocol/traffic anomaly or matched patterns. Thus, the ZyWALL
USG 1000 provides comprehensive Intrusion Detection and Prevention capability to proactively detect
and block potential worms, viruses, Trojans and VoIP threats, etc.
In response to the ever-evolving threats, up-to-date signatures/patterns are automatically downloaded
from rock-solid ZSDN infrastructure and installed on your ZyWALL USG 1000.
