Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has launched the HPE Networking Instant On Secure Gateway, a multi-functional network solution purpose-built to safeguard small and medium-sized businesses’ networks against today’s evolving cyber threats.
By combining enterprise-grade protection with seamless deployment and management, the HPE Networking Instant On Secure Gateway will empower small and medium-sized businesses to safeguard their networks without requiring extensive IT expertise or significant resources.
The Gateway serves as a powerful first line of defence that intelligently monitors, filters, and manages all network traffic to ensure only safe, authorised activity is allowed while proactively blocking malicious threats.
By integrating essential security capabilities such as firewall protection, intrusion detection and prevention, VPN support, and WAN high availability into an easy-to-manage solution, the secure gateway streamlines network protection and addresses the crucial cybersecurity challenges faced by small and medium-sized businesses.
“Today’s small and medium-sized businesses are under constant pressure to defend their networks from complex cyber threats, with limited IT resources and a fast-evolving digital landscape,” said HPE’s Amol Mitra. “Without dedicated security teams or substantial budgets, many small and medium-sized businesses struggle to protect their networks effectively. Traditional security solutions often fall short, leaving these businesses vulnerable.”
“The HPE Networking Instant On Secure Gateway addresses this gap, offering small and medium-sized businesses enterprise-grade protection without the need for extensive resources, empowering them to stay secure in a rapidly changing digital world.”
The HPE Networking Instant On Secure Gateway is offered in two variants. Each is designed to deliver the right level of performance and protection based on scale and user needs:
-
HPE Networking Instant On Secure Gateway SG1004: a 1-gig only, 4-port, wired secure gateway with basic routing, WAN resiliency, VPN, firewall, and IDS/IPS options.

“The small and medium-sized businesses sector in Asia Pacific and Japan is not only vital for the local economies—it’s also one of the fastest-growing and most dynamic segments globally,” said HPE’s Mark Ablett. “The HPE Networking Instant On Secure Gateway empowers these businesses with advanced yet simple-to-manage security solutions that safeguard their networks and streamline operations. This innovation is key to empowering small and medium-sized businesses to innovate and expand with confidence in an increasingly connected world.”
