Zyxel Networks has achieved full compliance across its wireless product portfolio with the European Union’s Radio Equipment Directive (RED) EN 18031 cybersecurity requirements.
Encompassing wireless access points and secure routers to mobile routers, Zyxel’s wireless solutions now meet the RED’s stringent criteria, designed to protect the data and privacy of small to medium-sized business across the world.
To enhance digital security across the region, th EU mandates compliance with EN 18031 cybersecurity standards for all wireless and radio equipment sold in the EU. This regulation puts cybersecurity in the same level of importance as electrical and electromagnetic safety.
With over 30 specific security requirements, including secure boot, access control, software update integrity and traffic monitoring, EN 18031 is designed to strengthen protection for users, data and networks alike.
As part of Zyxel Group, Zyxel Networks supports the Group’s pledge to the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)’s secure by design initiative. In alignment with these principles, the company is the first globally to offer multi-factor authentication (MFA) for remote AP users via its Secure WiFi feature. Zyxel is also the only vendor in the SMB segment to achieve the highest level of acceptance as a CVE Numbering Authority (CNA), highlighting its contribution to responsible security disclosure and remediation.
“Security has long been central to how we design and deliver our networking solutions,” said Ken Tsai, President of Zyxel Networks. “We fully support the EU’s forward-thinking move, as it aligns with our longstanding vision of safeguarding our customers and partners. This regulation raises the bar for the entire industry, and in doing so, it uplifts the resilience of digital infrastructure not only in the EU, but globally.”
