In addition to providing robust and scalable security for SME networks, the new firewalls also provide remote VPN access, WiFi access point management, and full hotspot functions to meet the needs of businesses with a single device. 

 
Global Threat Intelligence for Local Protection:
 The USG FLEX series supports Zyxel's Cloud Query service, a continuously growing cloud-based malware database. This database contains billions of malware samples from multiple sources, including trusted industry leaders and threat logs identified by Zyxel firewalls worldwide. The AI-powered algorithm ranks and calculates the severity level of each threat, helping businesses identify the most active dangers and take appropriate countermeasures.
 
USG FLEX maximizes remote worker productivity by providing flexible and secure VPN connections, including IPsec, SSL, and L2TP VPN over IPsec. Zero configuration reduces the IT workload and allows employees to adapt to remote work quickly. The built-in wireless access point controller enables WiFi network management without the need for an additional controller.
 
Flexible Licensing to Support Small Businesses in Challenging Times:
Customers looking to upgrade their older USG hardware to USG FLEX can migrate their licenses to the new devices without repurchasing them. Activation licenses for security features such as web filtering, antimalware, and the Zyxel SecuReporter Premium analysis and reporting service can be purchased individually or as part of a complete UTM security license package. Customized protection license packages are also available.
 
“The spread and impact of COVID-19 on businesses worldwide necessitates network protection while simultaneously providing secure remote access,” explains Gonzalo Echeverría, Country Manager of Zyxel Spain. “The USG Flex series is specifically designed to provide security, flexibility, and ease of use for SMEs in this new reality.”
 
Zyxel’s comprehensive range of security solutions provides businesses of all sizes with the flexibility, power, and performance needed to maintain operations in an evolving cybersecurity landscape.
