Revolutionary new service protects networks SMEs without major modification in network infrastructure
Hoofddorp, 2 October 2023 - Zyxel Networks, a leading provider of secure and cloud-driven networking solutions, is launching its new service ' Connect and Protect Plus'. Customers who purchase a three-year CNP+ security licence will receive a free WiFi 6 NWA110AX Access Point.
A recent (US) survey shows that wireless Access Points (APs) were among the top 5 IT devices in corporate networks most attacked by cybercriminals last year. As companies upgrade to WiFi 6 and WiFi 7 for faster connections to more devices simultaneously, securing those wireless networks has become even more important. Despite growing concerns about security, many SMEs and sole traders still have not implemented security measures in this part of their wireless networks due to budget constraints, limited resources or reluctance to adapt existing network infrastructures.
Revolution in network security for SMEs
Zyxel Networks' CNP+ is a cloud-based security service that connects directly to wireless APs to protect WiFi users. It revolutionises network security for SMEs by providing enhanced protection via web content filtering and preventing unauthorised access to data streams. This prevents the leakage of critical data. The biggest advantage, however, is that CNP+ solves these challenges without requiring any modifications to existing systems, minimising network reconfiguration and service disruptions.
The power of WiFi 6 and 7 Access Points
This innovative solution leverages the power of WiFi 6/7 APs. Because of their speed and capacity, these are able to perform security checks that traditionally can only be done by powerful security gateways. Furthermore, easy remote management is possible via it or a mobile app. Customers who purchase a three-year CNP+ security licence will therefore receive a free WiFi 6 NWA110AX Access Point, with the option to upgrade to the even more powerful NWA210AX model at a small additional cost.|
"At Zyxel, we understand better than anyone else that as businesses use more powerful WiFi technologies, the risk landscape is also growing," says Head of Channel at Zyxel Benelux. "For years, we have been known for offering the most comprehensive network solutions to the SME segment, whether wired, wireless or mobile. And the corresponding security. Working closely with SMEs has given us unique insights into their specific challenges which, combined with our security expertise, provided the motivation to strengthen wireless network security with a simple solution like CNP+."
