Virtualizing Security for Today's Business Needs

Virtualizing Security for Today's Business Needs

Organizations of all sizes are turning to virtualization to reduce costs and increase the efficiency, availability, and flexibility of their IT resources. But virtualization comes at a cost. Virtual environments are complex to manage and vulnerable to security threats. IT must be prepared. Now applications can be secured, resources can be maximized and your IT department can reap the rewards of having a single, unified management system—without a security risk in sight. WatchGuard XTMv brings best-in-class network security to the world of virtualization. With real-time monitoring, multi-WAN support and scalable solutions to fit any sized business, your virtual environments can be just as secure as your physical one.

WatchGuard’s virtual solutions provide you with unmatched deployment flexibility. You can choose to deploy a mix of hardware and virtual appliances, operating together and managed from a common centralized management platform. WatchGuard virtual appliances feature all of the security and networking services found in our physical appliances and can be deployed in a per-customer, -department, or -app scenarios, for your virtual infrastructure.

Virtualize the traditional gateway firewall for unprecedented flexibility – protecting the internal edge

WatchGuard XTMv protects not only the physical perimeter of the datacenter, but the “virtual edge. ” Now you can easily implement policy that protects the data in the corporate database from the messaging infrastructure, or confidential HR information from financial data from other divisions – even when running on the same servers.

Consolidate multiple firewalls for high-impact efficiencies – multi-tenant protection

Service providers – hosting, cloud, or managed security services – can deploy multiple instances of XTMv on servers at the perimeter of their datacenters. These virtual firewalls are isolated from each other, so service level agreements (SLAs) can be guaranteed to each tenant, and a configuration change to one doesn’t affect the others. And yet they can all be managed by the provider using a single intuitive console.

Eliminate redundant hardware costs while securing the virtual networks – branch consolidation

As larger branches and divisions consolidate local servers – file, print, voice, and more – onto one box, a virtual firewall can be deployed on the physical server, insulating all traffic from the public Internet. A single VPN tunnel can provide a secure path back to corporate datacenters or virtual private clouds – yielding cost savings at every location without compromising security.
