ZyXEL ZyWALL 35 UTM review

ZyXEL ZyWALL 35 UTM review

Review The ZyWALL 35 UTM appliance combines all the basic security tools required to protect a small business network, and deploys them at the Internet gateway where they are most useful. Professional help with deployment may be required, however, and it doesn’t do away entirely with the need for desktop and server-side protection.

ISS Proventia M10 review

ISS Proventia M10 review

Review The Proventia M10 appliance provides impressive and comprehensive network security at a surprisingly affordable price. However, it’s not as easy to deploy and manage as some of the alternatives and, as such, may not meet all small business requirements.
