Real Security for a Virtualized World
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 FireboxV 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.

Choose Your Platform and Management
FireboxV runs on industry-standard servers, including Microsoft® Hyper-V and VMware® vSphere, for maximum flexibility and availability. You have the power to choose how you manage your virtual appliance, including the intuitive WatchGuard System Manager console, a scriptable command line interface, and a web UI for access from anywhere, anytime. Deploy a mix of hardware and virtual appliances, operating together but managed from a common centralized management platform.
Fast, Safe Web Surfing
