Secured Firewall Protection and Blue Coat
The ZyNOS ICSA Firewall certified ZyWALL 2 Plus provides robust firewall protection, based on Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) and Denial of Service (DoS) technology. The ZyWALL 2 Plus provides the first line of defense against hackers, and other malicious threats. BlueCoat subscription services assist in keeping spyware, malware and phishing exploits from attacking your PCs, and help protect business and family from illegal and unwanted surfing.

Maximum Bandwidth Provision

Traffic Redirection for Broadband Backup Connection
ZyWALL 2 Plus increases reliability by supporting Fail-Over and Fail-Back technologies. User Selected back-up ISDN or Analog modem connections automatically switch traffic back to the WAN Port, when the primary connection is re-established. The ZyWALL 2 Plus backup feature ensures access to the net while decreasing the likelihood of potential down times and association losses.

Secure Zones Technology
With the enhanced *DMZ zone, SOHO can easily deploy their access server or WIFI appliance separate from the trusted local network (LAN). The DMZ zone has its own DHCP service and all zones are securely separated by firewall rules.
