TOTAL NETWORK PROTECTION
Every network needs a full arsenal of scanning engines to protect against spyware, viruses, malicious apps, botnets and more. Typically deployed at the corporate headquarters, Firebox M4800/M5800 appliances serve as the “hub,” responsible for managing and providing layered security for all communications between the head office and all remote employee and business sites.
A CLOUD’S-EYE VIEW OF YOUR ENTIRE NETWORK
WatchGuard Cloud provides full visibility into your network so that you can make timely, informed, and effective decisions about your network security anywhere, anytime. The platform displays 100+ dashboards and reports that allow you to quickly see high-level trends and anomalies, then drill down into detailed information on each.
EXPANSION MODULES FOR GREATER PORT DENSITY
Firebox M4800/M5800 appliances provide greater port density options that enable IT professionals to add additional network modules with more fiber or copper ports. Each appliance has two available slots for expansion modules, with options for 4 x 10 Gb fiber, 8 x 1 Gb copper, 8 x 1 Gb fiber, or 2 x 40 Gb fiber. Module options are identical to those on our mid-range Firebox devices, for even more flexibility.
AUTOMATION TO THE CORE
WatchGuard Firebox M Series appliances are designed with automation to the core, allowing your IT team to do more with less. The WatchGuard Automation Core makes it possible to deploy from the Cloud, block threats, update signatures, and detect and kill malware, all without lifting a finger.
