Capping off a big 2025 for Zyxel Networks, they have once again been recognised for their leadership, with the USG Flex 50H Firewall winning Security Hardware of the Year at the 2025 PC Pro Excellence Awards.
Unified Security for Modern Networks
The USG FLEX 50HP was recognised for solving a key challenge for SMBs and MSPs: maintaining consistent security across hybrid environments. Unlike traditional firewalls that manage cloud and on-premises settings separately, the USG FLEX 50HP uses Zyxel Networks’ Nebula cloud platform and Smart Sync to bridge the gap.
With Nebula serving as the centralised management layer, Smart Sync enables synchronised security policies, network objects, and high availability settings across cloud and on-premises environments. This ensures consistent protection while simplifying day-to-day operations. The USG FLEX 50HP combining comprehensive threat protection with cost-effective deployment, empowering SMBs and MSPs to adopt enterprise-grade security without operational or budget strain.
Global Recognition from Independent Experts
This UK honor follows a string of international achievements for Zyxel Networks’ security portfolio. Recently, Zyxel Networks was rated “Champion” in the Network Firewall and VPN categories in Germany’s Techconsult PUR 2026 survey. Additionally, the USG FLEX H series demonstrated top-tier performance in independent testing by The Tolly Group in the United States.
“Being named Security Hardware of the Year by PC Pro validates our focus on making security practical for SMBs and MSPs,” said Mr. Gary Chen, ANZ Regional Head at Zyxel Networks. “This recognition reflects our commitment to providing robust, reliable solutions that are easy to manage in an increasingly complex threat landscape.”
