Application Control:

Gateway AntiVirus:

Leverage WatchGuard’s continuously updated signatures to identify and block in real time, known spyware, viruses, trojans, worms, rogue-ware and blended threats – including new variants of known viruses. At the same time, heuristic analysis tracks down suspicious data constructions and actions to make sure unknown viruses don’t slip by.

Reputation Enabled Defence:

A powerful, cloud-based web reputation service that aggregates data from multiple feeds to provide real-time protection from malicious sites and botnets, while dramatically improving web processing overhead.

Network Discovery:

This service generates a visual map of all nodes on your network, making it easy to see where you may be at risk. It helps ensure that only authorised devices are connected while detecting all open ports and protocols.

Unified Security Defeats Complexity

The WatchGuard Unified Security Platform is a true force multiplier for IT teams. It makes operational ease possible by integrating the WatchGuard Firebox with WatchGuard’s authentication, endpoint security, and WiFi solutions to enable comprehensive, multi-layered security. Unifying security into a single platform unlocks efficiencies simply not possible with siloed systems, allowing for automation of frequent manual tasks that take up time.

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

The M690 provides an empty bay that can be used to add network modules (sold separately) to define a configuration that meet the needs of almost any network configuration. Expansion module options include four (4) 1GbE copper, four (4) 1Gbps SFP, two (2) 1Gbps SFP+, or four (4) multi-speed ports. Network modularity empowers IT pros to customise the port configuration to meet their needs, while ensuring the flexibility to adapt the firewall as their network evolves.

Power over Ethernet Support

The Firebox M690 can be equipped with a 4-port multi-speed PoE+ module (sold separately) that eliminates the need to have separate power running to peripheral devices. PoE+ ports simplify the process of powering other devices, like security cameras or WatchGuard’s USP WiFi access points (sold separately).

Easy to Manage

It’s in WatchGuard’s DNA to deliver advanced network security technologies that were previously thought to be too complex for small and midsize organisations. They take these enterprise-grade technologies and make them easy to manage and deploy. The end result? Small to midsize businesses have one solution, delivering enterprise-grade security, that can be managed from a single-pane-of-glass centralised console.
