By partnering with leading technology providers, WatchGuard is able to integrate best-of-breed security components into one UTM platform for stronger security at big cost savings.
  • Application Control keeps unproductive, inappropriate, and dangerous applications off-limits.
  • Intrusion Prevention Service (IPS ) delivers in-line protection from malicious exploits, including buffer overflows, SQL injections, and cross-site scripting attacks.
  • WebBlocker controls access to sites that host objectionable material or pose network security risks.
  • Gateway AntiVirus (GAV) scans traffic on all major protocols to stop threats.
  • spamBlocker delivers continuous protection from unwanted and dangerous email.
  • Reputation Enabled Defense ensures faster, safer web surfing with cloud-based reputation look-up.
  • Data Loss Prevention automatically inspects data in motion for corporate policy violations.
• Advanced networking features, such as dynamic routing and link aggregation, allow you to add security without needing to change existing network infrastructure.
• Multiple VPN choices (IPSec, SSL, L2TP) for secure remote access include support for Android and Apple iOS devices.

Easy to Manage

• Interactive, real-time monitoring and reporting – at no additional charge – give an unprecedented view into network security activity so you can take immediate preventive or corrective actions.
• WatchGuard Dimension, a public and private cloud-ready visibility solution, instantly turns raw data into security intelligence.
• Intuitive management console centrally manages all security functions.
• WAN and VPN failover provide redundancy for increased reliability.

Highest UTM Performance in the Industry

• Firewall throughput of up to 3.5 Gbps to keep traffic moving.
• Best UTM throughput in its class – up to 1.7 Gbps – even with strong security enabled.
• No need to compromise protection for strong performance or vice versa. Multi-layered, interlocking security protects the network while throughput remains high.
• Gigabit Ethernet ports support high-speed LAN backbone infrastructures & gigabit WAN connections.
• Upgrade to a higher model within the line for more performance and capacity with a simple license key.
