Welcome to WatchGuard

In the past, a connected enterprise needed a complex
set of tools, systems, and personnel for access control,
authentication, virtual private networking, network
management, and security analysis. These costly sys-
tems were difficult to integrate and not easy to update.
Today, the WatchGuard Firebox System delivers a
complete network security solution to meet these
modern security challenges:
•
Keeping network defenses current
•
Protecting every office connected to the Internet
•
Encrypting communications to remote offices and
traveling users
•
Managing the security system from a single site
The WatchGuard Firebox System is a reliable, flexible,
scalable, and inexpensive network security solution.
Its setup and maintenance costs are small, and it sup-
ports a rich feature set. When properly configured and
administered, the Firebox System reliably defends any
network against external threats.
