Zyxel Networks, a leader in delivering secure, AI-powered cloud networking solutions, announces its USG FLEX 200HP Security Firewall has won the 2024 Cyber Security Award for Innovation. Organized by the Taipei Computer Association, the award recognizes top cybersecurity products and services that enhance global digital resilience and represent Taiwan’s cybersecurity capabilities in the global market. Zyxel Networks was among only six companies honored this year.
Raising the bar with best-of-breed SECaaS technologies
The award-winning USG FLEX 200HP firewall integrates global-leading Security-as-a-Service (SECaaS) technologies to deliver advanced cloud-based AI security solutions. Features include sandboxing, antivirus and malware protection, DNS/IP/URL filtering, intrusion prevention system (IPS), and application inspection for comprehensive threat management.
Equipped with multi-core processors, DPDK Fast Path technology, 2.5GbE ports, and PoE+ connectivity, the USG FLEX 200HP firewall delivers a significant performance boost. With the support of Zyxel Networks’ Nebula Cloud Management, the firewall provides flexible cloud and on-premises management options, catering to the scalability needs of small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).
Secure by Design – making security an integral part of the product’s DNA
Zyxel is the only networking brand to achieve the top-tier dual Provider Acceptance Level as a CVE Numbering Authority (CNA) in 2024, recognized by the U.S. government’s National Vulnerability Database (NVD). This recognition means that Zyxel’s security analysis is considered to be the same as data provided by NVD analysts, offering equivalent transparency and robust analysis.
Additionally, Zyxel is the first Taiwanese company to sign the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s (CISA) Secure by Design pledge. With this commitment, Zyxel treats Secure by Design as an overarching philosophy that guides the product development process, further enhancing product security and leading the move towards secure development.
“Today’s businesses face increasingly complex cybersecurity threats and regulatory challenges,” said Mr. Gary Chen, SEA regional head at Zyxel Networks. “Our products combine AI intelligence and cloud-based security technology, recognized by leading international authorities, to deliver robust protection for over one million SMBs worldwide. Receiving the 2024 Cyber Security Award for Innovation highlights our position as a Taiwan-born, globally renowned cybersecurity leader, and underscores our ongoing commitment to innovation.”
Previously known as the Computex Best Choice Cyber Security Award, this accolade is guided by Taiwan’s National Security Council, National Science and Technology Council, and the Ministry of Digital Affairs. The award employs a rigorous, independent evaluation process to identify innovative and market-leading cybersecurity products and services from Taiwan. It also leverages industry resources from the Taiwan Cybersecurity Alliance to position Taiwan’s AI, software, and cybersecurity industries to achieve trillion-dollar valuations by 2026.
