Advanced Threat Protection with Built-in IDS/IPS and Layer 7 Deep Packet Inspection

The CSG-800 integrates built-in Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDS/IPS) with Layer 7 Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) to continuously inspect network traffic and identify malicious activities before they impact business operations. By analyzing application-layer traffic in real time, the gateway detects known threats, blocks suspicious connections, enhances application visibility, and helps organizations minimize cyber risks while maintaining stable, reliable, and high-performance network operations.

Continuous Security Monitoring with Security Log and Scheduled Signature Updates

The CSG-800 provides comprehensive security logs , event reports , and Scheduled Signature Updates to simplify cybersecurity management and improve threat visibility. Administrators can efficiently monitor network activities, analyze security incidents, and quickly identify potential threats, while continuously updated threat signatures ensure protection against newly emerging cyber attacks without manual intervention, maintaining an up-to-date security posture with reduced management effort.

Zero Trust–Protected VPN Access with Identity-Based Authentication

The CSG-800 adopts a Zero Trust architecture by verifying every administrator, user, and device before granting access to enterprise resources. Supporting FIDO2 Passkey authentication , TOTP-based MFA , certificate-based authentication , and optional RADIUS integration, it strengthens identity verification and enables secure VPN access while reducing the risks of credential compromise, unauthorized access, and lateral movement across distributed enterprise environments.

Secure Boot for Trusted System Integrity

The CSG-800 incorporates Secure Boot technology to ensure that only authenticated and trusted firmware is executed during system startup. Combined with a built-in Hardware True Random Number Generator (TRNG) for secure cryptographic key generation and Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)-ready TLS architecture, it establishes a trusted hardware foundation that protects against firmware tampering and strengthens long-term cybersecurity resilience.

Automatic Failover between Dual WAN

Featuring 10GBASE-T RJ45 and 10GBASE-X SFP+ WAN interfaces, the CSG-800 supports intelligent Dual-WAN failover to maintain uninterrupted Internet connectivity. When the primary WAN connection becomes unavailable, the secondary WAN interface automatically takes over, ensuring continuous network operation and minimizing downtime for business-critical applications.

Flexible WAN Interface Enables Extension of Network Deployment

The CSG-800 provides flexible WAN deployment through its 10G RJ45 and 10G SFP+ interfaces, allowing administrators to choose copper or fiber connectivity according to deployment requirements. Supporting long-distance fiber transmission and high-speed Ethernet connectivity, it enables secure, scalable, and flexible network expansion for headquarters, branch offices, data centers, and industrial facilities.

Cybersecurity Network Solution to Minimize Security Risks

The cybersecurity feature included to protect the switch management in a mission-critical network virtually needs no effort and cost to install. For efficient management, the CSG-800 is equipped with HTTPS web and SNMP management interfaces. With the built-in web-based management interface, the CSG-800 offers an easy-to-use, platform independent management and configuration facility. The CSG-800 supports SNMP and it can be managed via any management software based on the standard SNMP protocol. With support for advanced security mechanisms such as Secure Boot and PQC TLS readiness, the CSG-800 ensures long-term protection against evolving cyber threats, including quantum-era attacks.

Excellent Ability in Threat Defense

The CSG-800 integrates Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI), Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDS/IPS), Layer 7 Deep Packet Inspection (DPI), and DoS/DDoS mitigation technologies to provide comprehensive threat protection. Thus, virtual server and DMZ functions can let you set up servers in the Intranet and still provide services to the Internet users.

High-Availability VPN Security Router Designed for SMB Applications

The CSG-800 ensures strong data privacy and secure remote access through its comprehensive VPN suite. It supports IPSec VPN with DES/3DES/AES encryption and MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 authentication, as well as GRE tunneling, SSL VPN, PPTP, L2TP, and WireGuard for modern, lightweight, high-speed encrypted connections. With this extensive VPN capability, the CSG-800 provides secure, flexible, and resilient connectivity for branch sites, remote workers, and sensitive business operations.

Flexible Routing with NAT Disable Capability

The CSG-800 supports NAT disable functionality, allowing it to operate in pure routing mode for advanced network deployment scenarios. This feature is particularly beneficial for environments requiring end-to-end IP transparency, such as enterprise backbone networks, data centers, or integration with upstream security systems. By disabling NAT, administrators can achieve greater control over traffic flow and routing policies.

Maximizing Work Efficiency with PLANET SD-WAN Gateway

PLANET CSG-800 incorporated in SD-WAN (software-defined wide area network) function can greatly increase WAN optimization for multiple WAN links to be managed. With SD-WAN, users can connect any application across all available network connections at every site. It improves application performance and provides a high-quality user experience for increasing business productivity and reducing IT costs.

Integrated Wi-Fi Management for Secure and Easy Deployment

The CSG-800 integrates an AP Controller, Captive Portal, RADIUS authentication, and DHCP server to streamline Wi-Fi deployment for small and medium-sized businesses. These built-in services eliminate the need for external servers, enabling administrators to centrally manage APs, enforce access policies, and deliver secure employee and guest Wi-Fi networks with reduced setup complexity.

Centralized Remote Control of Managed APs

Through its intuitive web-based interface, the CSG-800 allows easy centralized control of PLANET Smart APs, with simple configuration of SSIDs, radio settings, and security policies. A quick four-step setup pushes wireless profiles to multiple APs or groups at once, enabling fast rollout and reduced deployment cost.

Administrators can cluster APs of the same model for unified management, flexibly expand or remove APs, and perform bulk provisioning or firmware upgrades—all from a single control point. This ensures scalable, efficient, and low-maintenance Wi-Fi management.

Intelligent SFP Diagnosis Mechanism

The CSG-800 supports SFP-DDM (digital diagnostic monitor) function that greatly helps network administrator to easily monitor real-time parameters of the SFP, such as optical output power, optical input power, temperature, laser bias current, and transceiver supply voltage.
