WatchGuard Firebox Cloud tűzfal, 8 Gbit/s

The WatchGuard Firebox Cloud 8 Gbit/s redefines virtual firewalling for public cloud environments, delivering 8 Gbps firewall throughput and support for up to 6000 users in a software appliance that deploys directly into AWS or Microsoft Azure. Unlike hardware appliances that struggle to scale in elastic cloud networks, Firebox Cloud provides consistent unified threat management with advanced AES encryption (128/192/256-bit) and broad routing protocol support (BGP4, OSPF, RIP), ensuring your cloud-hosted assets remain protected without compromising performance.

Highlights

• 8 Gbps firewall throughput for high-demand cloud workloads
• Supports up to 6000 users, ideal for mid-size to large deployments
• Advanced encryption: 128-, 192-, and 256-bit AES
• Full routing protocol suite: BGP4, OSPF, RIP
• Managed via WatchGuard Web UI or WatchGuard Cloud for centralized control
• Includes IPS, Gateway AntiVirus, WebBlocker, APT Blocker, DLP, Spam Blocker, and TDR
• Active/passive high availability clustering for resilience
• Virtual appliance with up to 10 virtual interfaces

In daily use

Deploying Firebox Cloud in your VPC or Azure virtual network brings enterprise-grade security to cloud-native applications. The appliance protects against botnets, cross-site scripting, SQL injection, and other web threats while offering VPN connectivity (IPSec and SSL) for secure remote access. With support for Active Directory, LDAP, and RADIUS authentication, you can integrate seamlessly with existing identity infrastructure. Logging and reporting through WatchGuard Dimension or Cloud Visibility provides real-time insights, and the subscription-based licensing model (Total Security Suite or Basic Security Suite) ensures you only pay for what you need.
