The Watchguard Firebox T-series of unified threat management (UTM) appliances promise residential installers a means to offer customers with scalable, enterprise-guard network security.
Featuring simple, plug-and-play installation, the Firebox T-series appliances provide a strong defense against the rising tide of online attacks, including advanced malware, ransomware, botnets, trojans, viruses, drive-by downloads, data loss and phishing. Aimed primarily at residential or small business applications, the T15, T35 and T55 UTM firewall boxes plug into the LAN backbone and can handle up to 35 users with up to five wired network connections.
In addition, the boxes support up to 20 APs managed either on the cloud or built-in wireless controller. All Firebox solutions are available with either "total" or "basic" security suite packages. Services range from traditional IPS, GAV, application control, spam blocking and web filtering at the basic level, to more advanced services for protection against advanced malware, ransomware and sensitive data loss. Watchguard also packages a full suite of network visibility and management services from the Dimension solution with every T-series firewall.
According to the company, the feed from already-installed Firebox UTMs show network attacks have doubled from Q1 2019 to Q2 2019. In Q2 2019, Firebox units have blocked 22619.836 malware variants across all three anti-malware engines, and prevented over 2.2 million network attacks.
