Bulletin on IoT security. Is your network ready for Internet of Things exploits?

Not so long ago, Human Security revealed an entire shadow network associated with infected devices and malicious applications. Infected were not only Android TV set-top boxes, but also tablet PCs, wearable devices and even cars.

Zyxel USG Flex 500 review: testing speed and exploring enterprise security gateway capabilities

The new series of gateways focuses on the speed of operation, and in the "Antivirus + IDP" mode, it does not fall below 800 Mbit/s LAN-WAN.
