WatchGuard Firebox T20 Firewall
Big Security in a Small Appliance
Perfect as a stand-alone firewall solution or as a VPN gateway for centralized traffic inspection, Firebox T20 is a small appliance that brings big security to small and home office environments.
It’s no secret that attackers go for the weakest link when trying to get into a corporate network, and this is often a home office or small office user. Firebox T20 gives you a powerful tool for administering and enforcing policy across your extended network, allowing you to bring full UTM protection to remote workers and smaller sites for tighter security.
Zero-Touch Deployment and Configuration for Your Firebox
Whether you are deploying security at multiple locations as a customer or offering SD-WAN as a managed security service provider (MSSP), you can skip sending your network administrators onsite for configuration. WatchGuard RapidDeploy makes it possible to eliminate much of the labor involved in setting up a Firebox to work for your network – all without having to leave your office. RapidDeploy is a powerful, Cloud-based deployment and configuration tool that comes standard with WatchGuard Firebox appliances. Local staff simply connect the device for power and the Internet, and the rest can be taken care of remotely from any location.
Businesses today require network solutions that can adapt to changing conditions to optimize network performance and reduce costs as needs change. With SD-WAN built-in, Firebox T20 makes it easy to reduce the use of expensive MPLS or 4G/LTE and improve network resiliency, while maintaining security
Firebox T20 is also available in a wireless model that includes optional dual-band 802.11ac technology for a faster wireless network connection, improved reliability, and expanded range on 2.4 GHz or the 5 GHz band. Segmenting traffic for users and guests is easy with the built-in wireless guest network.
