A typical IoT attack looks like this: the device connects to a malicious Internet resource directly or through its own VPN, downloads and installs malicious code on itself, after which it begins to be either part of a large bot farm for attacks on third-party resources and use as a resident proxy, or simply spies on your network, trying to intercept anythat data, pull information from open resources or harm in any other way. It is not difficult to protect your network from possible IoT attacks. ...

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. Some IoT devices may even be infected with viruses or Trojans already at the stage of their production or sale, and since it is impossible to imagine a modern company without IoT today, it is important to properly protect your network. Today's world is completely ...

Zyxel reasoned this way: if the L3 functionality is already determined only by the firmware, 99% choose an access switch for the sake of port density, PoE, VLAN, Multicast, and less often for static routing, then here's the base model XMG1930, which is generally L2, but slightly L3. And if your network requires advanced L3 functions, then all this is also there, just buy the appropriate license and get the core-level functionality. You can do this at any time, even when buying a device, even ...

This L3 layer switch has 4 x 10-Gigabit SFP+ slots, 1-Gigabit PoE+ ports for the main fleet of devices, NVR/VoIP optimized interface, support for Nebula cloud service and multi-Gigabit PoE+ ports for Wi-Fi 6 access points. That is, Zyxel has added a maximum of functions to make it the most versatile. In the Zyxel hierarchy, the XGS2220 series refers to access switches, that is, to the lowest level that serves end devices and access points. We are used to the fact that cheap maintenance-free ...

From the point of view of the network, a modern facility can be just one access point connected directly to the WAN from the provider, and there are enough resources on this access point to raise the VPN tunnel to the headquarters, and for NAT, and to configure restrictions for customers and for basic protection of customers and employees. No, but really, why should an expensive security gateway be built on a small facility where the network infrastructure is completely wireless? Modern ...

What will happen to your network if the Iron Curtain suddenly falls, and the Global Internet turns into something sovereign and all cross-border channels are blocked? Let's simulate this situation and tell you how to unsign the device from Nebula without Internet access. We have reviewed the Nebula Control Center management system from Zyxel many times. This is a cloud service that allows you to configure and monitor the company's network stack via the Internet, including setting up Wi-Fi, ...

The most difficult thing is not even to pick up packages to replace Synology services with free ones, but to support their work, promptly responding to glitches and updates. This is not an easy, but doable task that can be completed in a few weeks. Installing applications, configuring services Having planned the storage, I proceed to installing the software. Docker is already installed, and now I will install MergerFS and SnapRAID file system support for the archived data array. For example ...

You are very lucky if you used the NAS's of this company only for storing files: you will easily find a replacement for yourself. It's much worse if your business is actively tied to DSM services, including those related to virtualization, video surveillance, backups and fault tolerance. After the events of February 2022, Synology was one of the first to file for divorce and leave the Russian market. This means that any other market is not immune from the fact that the company does not fall ...

Modern Zyxel access points allow you to work in NAT and bridge mode simultaneously for different SSIDs, connect users using 2FA, shape traffic depending on the application and flexibly use VLANs. Let's look at how you can configure a wireless network to protect horizontal traffic. Modern networks are gradually changing the traditional topology, in which a security gateway was installed on top, and the network was segmented at L2/L3 levels using switches from below. The modern network is ...

Let's consider a typical case: a large retail chain opens hundreds of new stores, each of which plans to use IoT infrastructure using Wi-Fi 6. In order to facilitate the setup and commissioning of equipment, in other words, so that the sysadmin does not hang around all 100 stores, you can turn the deployment process upside down: first set up the network, and then lay the cables and mount the devices. Today ZyXEL provides you with such an opportunity when using the Nebula service. Let's ...
