ENTERPRISE-GRADE SECURITY FOR BRANCH OFFICES AND RETAIL ENVIRONMENTS

WatchGuard Firebox T45 tabletop appliances bring enterprise-level network security to small office/branch office and retail environments. These appliances are small-footprint, cost-effective security powerhouses that deliver all the features present in WatchGuard’s higher-end UTM appliances, including all security capabilities, such as AI-powered anti-malware, threat correlation, and DNS-filtering.

BIG SECURITY IN A SMALL APPLIANCE

With the Total Security Suite, WatchGuard’s Firebox includes a complete and industry-best set of threat management solutions, including gateway antivirus, content and URL filtering, antispam, intrusion prevention, application control, Cloud sandboxing, and endpoint protections, all in an easy-to-manage package.

QUICK AND SIMPLE DEPLOYMENT

Zero-touch deployment makes it possible to eliminate much of the labor involved in setting up a Firebox to connect to your network - all without having to leave your office. A robust, Cloud-based deployment and configuration tool comes standard with WatchGuard Firebox appliances. Local staff connects the device to power and the Internet, and the appliance connects to the Cloud for all its configuration settings.

Integrated support for PoE+ means you can avoid running separate power cables to peripheral devices like security cameras, VoIP phones, or wireless access points.

UNIFIED SECURITY PLATFORM ARCHITECTURE

WatchGuard’s Unified Security Platform framework is built from the ground up to enable a single console solution for provisioning, deploying, managing, and monitoring an integrated portfolio of advanced cybersecurity solutions and services. This comprehensive portfolio of endpoint, multi-factor authentication, Wi-Fi, and network security solutions (including Firebox firewall appliances) helps stop the attempted discovery and exploitation of vulnerable systems, phishing, ransomware, intrusions, and advanced malware across all users, environments, and devices. Our Unified Security Platform architecture replaces the old patchwork security approach and makes it possible to extend security capabilities to every computing environment where your business operates.

NETWORK OPTIMIZATION WITH SD-WAN

Firebox T45 models make network optimization easy. With integrated SD-WAN and optional 5G technology, you can ensure failover to the cellular network, minimize disruptive connectivity, and establish secure and reliable connections for small offices.

Features:

Enterprise-grade security for branch offices

A small-footprint security workhorse that brings enterprise-level network security to small branch offices.

WatchGuard’s Firebox T45 provides strong, multi-layered security in line with the reality of today's distributed work environment. Firebox T45 appliances with the full Total Security Suite bring the full extent of WatchGuard’s security services to our most popular tabletop appliance model.

Total Security, Wherever You Need It

The Firebox T45 gives you a powerful tool for administering and enforcing policy across your extended network, allowing you to bring full UTM protection to branch offices and small retail sites for tighter security. With full support for the Total Security Suite, the T45 makes it possible to protect your smaller locations with advanced security services like Cloud sandboxing, AI-powered anti-malware, threat correlation, and DNS filtering.

Zero-Touch Remote Deployment

With the Firebox T45 you can avoid sending your team to every location a device is needed. Our Cloud-based deployment technology allows you to create and store Firebox configuration data in the Cloud and directly ship an appliance to its destination. Once the device arrives, a user only needs to plug it in ‒ your pre-determined configuration will automatically download and be applied. Perfect for remote users!

Goodbye RADIUS Setup , Hello AuthPoint MFA

With RADIUS setup no longer required, it is now easier to set up strong multi-factor authentication for VPNs through the Firebox. Security and convenience make this integration a powerful tool for zero-trust

Integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE+)

A Power over Ethernet (PoE+) port is available on Firebox T45 models to power a peripheral device, such as a Cloud-managed wireless access point from WatchGuard or a third-party security camera, allowing you to extend the reach of your network without having to run costly AC power to remote devices.

Secure SD-WAN That’s Easy

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 T45 makes it easy to reduce the use of expensive MPLS or 4G/LTE and improve network resiliency while maintaining security.

Wired or Wireless – Your Choice

Firebox T45 appliances are also available in a wireless model that includes optional dual-band 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 technology for a faster wireless network connection, improved reliability, and expanded range on the 2.4 GHz or the 5 GHz band. The built-in wireless guest network makes segmenting traffic for users and guests easy.

Don’t Hesitate, Automate

As a highly automated platform, the Firebox T45 is perfect for time-strapped IT teams. WatchGuard’s unique Automation Core ensures secure user access to essential resources, blocks advanced threats from entering your network, deploys and manages security components, and optimizes network performance while requiring minimal interaction from your IT team.

Strong Security At Every Level

Uniquely architected to be the industry’s smartest, fastest, and most effective network security products, WatchGuard solutions deliver in-depth defenses against advanced malware, ransomware, botnets, trojans, viruses, drive-by downloads, phishing and much more.
