Zyxel Networks, a leader in delivering secure and AI-powered cloud networking solutions, today announced that its USG FLEX 50HP firewall has been honored with a prestigious Taiwan Excellence Award 2026. This latest accolade also brings the Zyxel Group’s total Taiwan Excellence Awards to over 100 wins, underscoring its long-standing commitment to innovation.
The Taiwan Excellence Awards, held on November 26 in Taipei, recognize products that create new value through innovation. Established by the Ministry of Economic Affairs in 1993, this year nearly 1,000 entries were judged on their achievements in R&D, design, quality and marketing, with only 336 receiving the honor.
Bridging the long-standing gap in network security management
The USG FLEX 50HP firewall unifies cloud and on-premises into one seamless solution. This is achieved through its industry-leading Smart Sync feature, which synchronizes security policies, network objects, and high availability settings across both platforms. This ensures consistent protection and streamlines management.
Its rich set of security features provides comprehensive protection against ever-increasing cyber threats, while its friendly pricing empowers small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and managed service providers (MSPs) with enterprise-grade security without compromising budget, making advanced network protection attainable for a wider range of businesses.
Garnering recognitions from experts worldwide
Beyond this esteemed Taiwan Excellence Award, the USG FLEX 50HP has earned further accolades globally. It was recently named Security Hardware of the Year in the UK's PC Pro Technology Excellence Awards 2025 and in Spain it claimed the title of Best Cybersecurity Solution at the 17th Communicaciones Hoy Awards. In addition, the USG FLEX H series outperformed competitors in third-party evaluations conducted by the Tolly Group in the United States, underscoring the strong reputation of Zyxel Networks’ security firewalls among IT professionals.
"The USG FLEX 50HP firewall is a testament to our dedication to delivering advanced and accessible security solutions," said Ken Tsai, President of Zyxel Networks. "This Taiwan Excellence Award, alongside other recent honors, validates our efforts to empower SMBs and MSPs globally with robust, user-friendly and cost-effective protection against evolving cyber threats."
Avani Chen, Product Marketing Manager of Zyxel Networks received the award on behalf of the company.
Further reinforcing its commitment to secure the global digital landscape, the Zyxel Group recently became the first in Taiwan’s networking industry to join the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST). This membership further strengthens Zyxel Networks' focus on providing robust security solutions and its dedication to collaborating with the cybersecurity community to combat evolving threats.
