WatchGuard Firebox

The Firebox family of appliances are specially designed and optimized machines. They are small, efficient, and reliable. The Firebox is a low-profile component with an indicator display panel in front and physical interfaces in back.

For detailed Firebox specifications, see the Reference Guide.

WatchGuard Control Center

WatchGuard Control Center is a toolkit of applications run from a single location, enabling you to configure, manage, and monitor your network security policy. Control Center includes:

Policy Manager

Used to design, configure, and manage the electronic portion of a network security policy.

Firebox Monitors

Combines the WatchGuard set of monitoring tools into a single user interface.

LogViewer

Displays a static view of the log data, which you can filter by type, search for keywords and fields, and print and save to a separate file.

HostWatch

Displays active connections occurring on a Firebox in real time or represents the connections listed in a log file. HostWatch either plays back a previous file for review or displays connections in real time, as they are added to the current log file.

Historical Reports

Creates HTML reports that display session types, most active hosts, most used services, URLs, and other data useful in monitoring and troubleshooting your network.

WatchGuard security suite

In addition to basic security policy configuration, the Firebox System includes a suite of advanced software features. These include:

•User authentication

•Network address translation

•Remote user virtual private networking

•Branch office virtual private networking

•Selective Web-site blocking
