Features

Active Threat Monitoring with Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDS/IPS)

IDS and IPS monitor network traffic for suspicious activities. IDS detects and alerts administrators about potential security breaches, while IPS actively blocks or prevents threats in real-time.

Together, IDS and IPS enhance network security by identifying and responding to potential intrusions.

Keep the Network Safe with a Stateful Firewall

This monitors and controls network traffic based on policies, creating a barrier between trusted internal networks and untrusted external networks to prevent unauthorized access and cyber threats.

Default settings block external traffic from accessing the LAN. policies can allow or block traffic, enable port forwarding, and client access.

Keep the Business Online with WAN Resiliency

This feature enables continuous connectivity during network disruptions using multiple ISP connections.

The secure gateway detects issues (link degradation or failure) and reroutes traffic to the best available ISP uplink, reducing downtime and service interruptions.

Multi-Gigabit and PoE Ports (SG2505P)

Great for small and medium businesses with ISP throughputs faster than a gigabit, utilizes the 2.5 G ports on the SG2505P for maximum throughput.

A PoE budget of 60W makes the SG2505P a smart choice for deploying a compact and easy-to-manage network by powering Instant On access points without an additional switch.
