Kaspersky's technologies to protect ZyXEL’s UTM firewalls

BANGALORE, INDIA:  ZyXEL Communications and Kaspersky Lab have announced that ZyXEL’s newly introduced line of next-generation UTM firewalls integrates Kaspersky Lab’s anti-malware technologies.

The companies’ long-term cooperation and integration present comprehensive real-time protection against malware threats for business networks.

ZyXEL is a global provider in broadband networking technology, providing a portfolio of wired and wireless network solutions for customers ranging from telecommunications service providers to small- and medium-sized businesses and home users.

All the USG lines are equipped with Kaspersky SafeStream II technology, which enables system administrators to achieve the best level of security within their networks without hampering performance and quality of service.

By taking full advantage of Kaspersky Lab’s cloud-enabled security intelligence, SafeStream II can filter the most dangerous and widespread malware from network traffic at wire speed.

“In today’s information-intense digital environment there’s always a huge amount of network traffic that has to be handled efficiently, precisely and safely. Our technology solution, integrated into the hardware of ZyXEL’s gateways along with constantly updated signature databases, allows us to filter the majority of malicious objects from network traffic with sufficient speed and precision to ensure peace of mind for network users and administrators”, said Nikita Shvetsov, acting chief technology officer, Kaspersky Lab.

“Kaspersky Lab is a reliable long-term partner whose advanced technologies provide complete anti-malware protection in our USG series. Powered by SafeStream II, the ZyXEL USG series offers strong protection at the gateway level, preventing security threats caused by careless out-of-date endpoints or new devices that lack protection software. ZyXEL will continue to closely integrate Kaspersky Lab’s new technologies into our security appliances, facilitating robust, up-to-date protection for our customers’ business networks,” said Wayne Hwang, AVP of Gateway Strategic BU, ZyXEL
