DrayTek DTP212G Guardian Threat Protection, 1-year Threat Protection for DrayTek Vigor2928 Series

DrayTek Threat Protection is an AI-driven, cloud-enhanced security service built into select Vigor routers. It provides agentless, enterprise-grade protection—including DoS defense, IoT isolation, and content filtering—without the need for complex, expensive security appliances.

 

Sentry: For SOHO / Small Offices (up to 100 LAN devices).Supported Models: Vigor2136 series & Vigor2767 series

Guardian: For SMBs & High-Density Branches (up to 200 LAN devices).Supported Models: Vigor2867 & Vigor2928 seriesRequirements: Requires Firmware F/W 5.3.7 or later.

 

Router & Edge Security: Mitigates DoS/DDoS attacks, detects port scans, and blocks brute-force access attempts.Network & Device Monitoring: Auto-detects/fingerprints devices and instantly isolates compromised machines to prevent lateral movement.IoT & Unmanaged Defence: Uses behavioral anomaly detection to stop exploits on devices that cannot run antivirus software.Safe Browsing & Content Filtering: Blocks phishing sites, ransomware command centers, and restricts unwanted website categories in real time.

 

Agentless Coverage: Protects computers, phones, and unmanaged IoT/OT devices without installing agents on endpoints.

Encrypted Traffic Safety: Identifies threats hidden within encrypted traffic without impacting overall performance.

Unified Cloud Dashboard: Provides real-time visibility into active threats and device status, suitable for business owners and Managed Service Providers (MSPs).

 

In an era of evolving cyber threats, traditional defences are no longer enough. DrayTek Threat Protection is an AI-driven, cloud-enhanced security service integrated directly into selected Vigor routers. It provides enterprise-grade protection for your router, local network, and every connected device, without the complexity or high costs of traditional security appliances.

 

Why Choose DrayTek Threat Protection?

DrayTek bridges the gap between sophisticated security and operational simplicity. By combining gateway-based enforcement with real-time cloud intelligence, we provide a shield that learns and adapts to new threats.

AI-Assisted Detection

Uses behaviour-based analysis to identify threats that traditional signature-based tools may miss

Secures computers, mobile phones, and IoT devices without requiring software installation on every endpoint

Effectively identifies threats hidden within encrypted traffic without the performance impact of full SSL inspection

 

• Auto-detects and fingerprints connected devices

• Converts “unknowns” into manageable groups

• Clear events and reports for faster triage

• Audit-ready visibility without extra tooling

• DPI-based protection against exploit and command-injection patterns

• Mitigates CVE risk when patching is delayed

• Cloud-delivered updates keep protection up to date

• Protects unmanaged IoT/OT without endpoint agents

• Ideal for hard-to-patch and legacy devices

• Gateway-based protection for all LAN devices and traffic

• Faster rollout for branches and small offices

• Least-privilege access by device type

• Limits lateral movement and unnecessary outbound traffic

• Fewer manual rules and ongoing tuning

• Reduces day-to-day maintenance workload

 

The first line of defence. Hardens the network edge by mitigating DoS/DDoS attacks, detecting port scans, and blocking brute-force access attempts. Ensures maximum uptime and stability during active cyber-attacks.

Provides total network visibility. Threat Protection automatically discovers and continuously monitors every device on your LAN. It instantly detects and isolates compromised or suspicious devices, preventing lateral movement of threats across the network.

Closes the “IoT gap” for devices that cannot run antivirus software (e.g., POS systems, IP cameras, printers). Uses behavioural anomaly detection to stop exploit and injection attacks at the network level.

Blocks access to known phishing sites, malware hosts, botnet destinations, and ransomware command centres in real-time. Easily enforce acceptable-use policies with flexible, category-based filtering at the user or device level.

 

 

Built into your Vigor router—no extra hardware required.

 

Security intelligence is constantly updated via the cloud to defend against the latest zero-day threats.

 

Policy-based configuration allows you to secure your office in minutes, not hours.

 

Stop guessing about your network health. Our Unified Cloud Dashboard provides:

 

• Real-time visibility into active threats and device status.

• Comprehensive reports on security events and long-term trends.

• Easy-to-understand metrics designed for business owners and MSPs alike.
