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
- The WatchGuard Firebox Cloud AMI was built specifically to run within the AWS environment and provides a streamlined User Interface that removes elements that are not relevant to AWS but still provides all the necessary WatchGuard security services.
- 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.
- Utilize WatchGuard Cloud as the centralized management hub for multiple Firebox Cloud instances offering streamlined visibility alongside all other WatchGuard security solutions.
