WatchGuard Firebox is WatchGuard's range of firewall appliances, described as next-generation firewalls and unified threat management systems. They come as tabletop units (T Series) for small offices and branches, as rackmount units (M Series), as the virtual firewall FireboxV and as Firebox Cloud for AWS and Azure. Features include antivirus and advanced threat blocking with sandboxing, network segmentation, user-based content filtering and Zero Trust remote access. Management runs through WatchGuard Cloud. WatchGuard sells only through partners and resellers.
WatchGuard Technologies, Inc. is based in Seattle (US) and privately held; Vector Capital has been the majority owner since 2022. The appliances run on your own premises, virtually or in your own cloud environment, but the cloud management platform has no published region list. The Trust Center states that the data processing addendum is incorporated into the end-user licence agreement, with standard contractual clauses for processing in the US, and that the company has self-certified to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Because the provider is American, US legislation such as the CLOUD Act may apply.
