Overview
WatchGuard Firebox Cloud brings the protection of WatchGuard's leading Firebox UTM appliances to public cloud environments and enables organizations to extend their security perimeter to protect business critical assets in Amazon Web Services. Under the AWS shared responsibility model security in the cloud falls to the customer. For this reason, it is crucial that administrators take every step possible to defend their data and deflect cyber criminals. Firebox Cloud can quickly and easily be deployed to protect a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) from attacks such as Botnets, cross-site scripting, SQL injection attempts, and other intrusion vectors.
Highlights
- WatchGuard's Firebox Cloud was built specifically to run within the AWS environment, and provides a streamlined User Interface (UI) that removes elements that aren't relevant to AWS.
- Small-to-medium businesses and distributed enterprises with portions of their infrastructure running in the cloud can streamline their configuration and maintenance efforts by extending their security perimeter with Firebox Cloud.

Fast intuitive protection for your AWS cloud
After using Watchguard products on-prem the past two decades, it's nice to have the same level of security, visibility, and reporting in AWS that also easily connects other branch-office/user VPN connections. Even without Watchguard product experience, there is plenty of documentation and training available to get anyone with a network security background up to speed quickly.
