WatchGuard Firebox Series

WatchGuard Firebox X Core e-Series

WatchGuard Firebox X Core e-Series

Robust UTM Solutions for Growing Businesses

Our Firebox X Core e-Series Unified Threat Management (UTM) solutions provide the best performance and most complete security in their class, integrating built-in zero day protection with robust security subscriptions for an unbeatable combination of network defense capabilities. Powerful, yet easy to configure and manage, they protect your network with multi-layered security to block viruses, worms, trojans, spyware, bots, spam, DoS and DDoS attacks, buffer overflows, web-based exploits, and other blended threats.

Firebox X Core Delivers

Firebox X Core e-Series integrates a powerful combination of dynamic stateful packet firewall, VPN, zero day attack prevention, intrusion prevention, gateway anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-spam, and URL filtering into a single appliance for comprehensive unified threat management, reducing the time and cost associated with managing multiple point-solutions.

Intelligent Layered Security
Powerful, proactive protection

WatchGuard proxy technology scans traffic to identify and block threats. Anything that does not conform to standard Internet protocols, behaviors, and patterns is detected and stopped, and dangerous content types are removed from web, email, and FTP traffic. This is powerful protection all by itself, but when combined with optional security subscriptions, it results in the broadest, deepest security in its class.

Blocks attack sources

When your Firebox X Core detects suspicious or malicious behavior, such as an attempted denial of service (DoS) attack or a network probe, it adds the suspicious source to a “blocked sites” list. Future traffic from the suspect source is automatically blocked – so even when you have rules allowing the world to reach your public servers, potential attackers are barred.

Cloaks the network

Your Firebox prevents hackers from using your system information to attack your network. More than simple IP address masquerading, WatchGuard’s unique proxy technology also protects your public-facing web, email, and other servers by hiding server system information that could help an attacker.
Advanced Appliance Software

Our robust Fireware appliance software ships standard on all Firebox X Core e-Series models. As your network environment grows in complexity, you can easily upgrade to Fireware Pro 9.1 for the enhanced business reliability, redundancy, and traffic shaping features that today’s most demanding networks require, including:

  • High Availability (Active/Passive)
  • Dynamic Routing
  • Policy-based Routing
  • VLAN
  • Multi-WAN Load Balancing
  • Server Load Balancing with Server Monitoring
  • Traffic Shaping/QoS

Intuitive User Experience with WatchGuard System Manager

Smart defaults

Pre-defined smart defaults in WatchGuard System Manager (WSM) save time on initial setup and during routine configuration changes.

Tools to make customization easy

Easily configure Firebox X Core to meet your specific business needs with features such as drag-and-drop VPN creation, intuitive wizards, and flexible security policies. Policy Manager’s unique offline configuration editing provides all of the immediacy of a web-based interface, with editing and file-management flexibility that web UIs cannot match.

Interactive real-time monitoring and comprehensive reporting

WatchGuard provides unmatched real-time visibility into network, security, and user activity, with interactive tools that allow you to take instant diagnostic or preventive action. A full complement of historical reports offers detailed visibility into user behavior, threat protection, and system performance.
Intuitive, centralized management with no hidden costs

WSM is the single intuitive graphical user interface used to manage all capabilities of the Firebox X Core, as well as Firebox X Peak and Edge appliances. It ships with all Firebox X Core and Peak security appliances – no additional purchases required*.

Security Subscriptions

WatchGuard integrated security subscriptions work cooperatively with the built-in zero day attack prevention of the Firebox X Core for an unbeatable combination of security capabilities. Subscriptions include:

Gateway AntiVirus/Intrusion Prevention Service with anti-spyware

Provides robust, signature-based protection at the gateway against known viruses, trojans, spyware, Web-based exploits, and other blended threats, complementing the built-in protection of our proxy technology. Unlimited file size scanning; file locking option provides “per file quarantining” of infected files; IPS controls IM and P2P usage.

WebBlocker

Scalable and Upgradeable

As your network security requirements change, you can easily extend and protect your security investment. Add any of our security subscriptions, upgrade to higher model in the line, or move up to the enhanced networking features of Fireware Pro advanced appliance software. Upgrading to the capacity of a higher model in the line or adding any of our security subscriptions can be done with a downloadable software license key – no hardware replacement required.
