Pare-feu WatchGuard Firebox Cloud 8 Gbit/s

Public cloud environments often lack the robust perimeter security needed to protect sensitive data and critical workloads. The WatchGuard Firebox Cloud Large is a virtual firewall appliance that extends enterprise-grade network protection into AWS and Microsoft Azure, delivering up to 8 Gbps firewall throughput and support for up to 6000 users. It combines unified threat management with advanced encryption and centralized management to secure your cloud infrastructure effectively.

Who is it for

This solution is ideal for organizations migrating services such as email, web, CRM, or file storage to public clouds, and for enterprises that require secure site-to-site VPN connections between cloud and on-premises networks. It is also suited for businesses needing centralized security visibility and reporting across hybrid environments.
