Hårdvarubrandvägg WatchGuard Firebox Cloud XLarge

For organizations extending security into AWS or Microsoft Azure, the Firebox Cloud XLarge delivers enterprise-grade unified threat management without the overhead of physical appliances. Unlike typical virtual firewalls, it combines proven WatchGuard security services with flexible cloud deployment, enabling consistent policy enforcement across hybrid environments. This virtual appliance supports AES encryption at 128-, 192-, and 256-bit strengths and standard routing protocols such as BGP4, OSPF, and RIP, ensuring seamless integration into existing network architectures.

Highlights

• Cloud-native security for AWS and Azure with WatchGuard Total Security Suite
• Comprehensive threat defense: IPS, GAV, WebBlocker, Application Control, APT Blocker, and more
• High-performance virtual appliance with up to 10 Gbps firewall throughput and 5,000,000 concurrent sessions
• Flexible management via WatchGuard Cloud or Dimension, with high availability support
• Includes 3-year Total Security Suite subscription for complete protection

In daily use

Deploy the Firebox Cloud XLarge on a recommended c5.xlarge AWS instance or D4s_v3 Azure VM, and it immediately begins inspecting traffic with intrusion prevention, gateway antivirus, and web filtering. Administrators manage policies through the intuitive WatchGuard Web UI, compatible with Windows, Mac, Linux, and Solaris endpoints. VPN tunnels—up to 5,000—secure connections between cloud resources and on-premises sites, while robust routing protocols maintain dynamic network paths. The subscription-based licensing ensures you always have the latest security updates without hardware refresh cycles.
