Nyxel's ZyWALL ATP (advanced threat protection) appliances are aimed at SMBs that want much more than a firewall can offer. The ATP500 takes the standard UTM features from Zyxel's USG Flex family and adds advanced security measures such as cloud-based threat intelligence using machine learning, sandboxing to protect against unknown threats and deep analytics.
The ATP500 sits in the middle of this family of six appliances and claims a decent 2.5Gbits/sec raw firewall throughput and 0.9Gbits/sec with all UTM services enabled. This desktop unit presents seven copper gigabit ports that can each be configured for WAN, LAN or DMZ duties, plus an SFP fibre gigabit port for longer connections.
The price we've shown will appeal to smaller businesses as it includes a one-year Gold Security licence, with one- and two-year renewals costing £381 and £660 respectively. This enables every security service and is the only licence Zyxel offers.
