Threat Protection

Attacks no longer stop at the firewall’s front door. Phishing links, compromised IoT gadgets and malware hiding in encrypted traffic all reach small businesses every day. DrayTek Threat Protection turns a Vigor router into an AI-assisted security gateway backed by cloud intelligence — protecting the router, the network and every device behind it, without a separate security appliance.

Threat Protection blocks attacks at the Vigor router, guided by cloud threat intelligence, so every device receives clean traffic — Threats are stopped at the router, guided by cloud intelligence — every device behind it gets clean traffic.

Why it’s different

AI-assisted detection

Behavior-based analysis spots suspicious activity that signature-only tools miss — including brand-new threats.

Nothing to install

Protection happens at the gateway, so laptops, phones and IoT devices are covered without agents or apps.

Sees through encryption

Cloud intelligence flags malicious destinations and communications, even when the traffic itself is encrypted.

Four layers of protection

Router & edge security

Shields the router itself from intrusion attempts, scans and flood attacks, keeping the network online.

Network & device monitoring

Shows which devices are talking to risky destinations, so you can act before a problem spreads.

IoT & unmanaged devices

Covers cameras, printers, smart TVs and other devices that can’t run security software of their own.

Safe browsing

Blocks phishing and malicious websites and filters unwanted content for everyone on the network.

Two service tiers

Choose the tier that matches the size of the site:

	Sentry	Guardian
Best for	Home and small offices, retail	Small and mid-size businesses, busy branches
Suggested devices on the LAN	Up to 100	Up to 200
Routers we carry	Vigor2136 Series	Vigor2928 Series
Firmware	5.4.4.1 or later	5.4.4 or later
Deployment	Edge gateway + cloud	Edge gateway + cloud

Note: Threat Protection and URL/IP Reputation can’t run at the same time on one router — each router uses one of the two services.

Simple to run

Zero-touch updates

Threat intelligence updates automatically from the cloud, so new and zero-day threats are covered without you lifting a finger.

Clear visibility

A dashboard shows what was blocked, where it came from and which devices were involved.

Built in

It runs on the Vigor router you already install — no extra hardware, and policy-based setup takes minutes.
