WatchGuard Technologies launches UTM Solution for SOHO Users

WatchGuard Technologies has announced a network security appliance for enterprises- WatchGuard Firebox T10 Unified Threat Management (UTM) solution. It allows enterprises to extend powerful network security to Small Office Home Office (SOHO) environments. With 70 per cent of high-value employees working at home at least once a week, the new solution allows network administrators to ensure robust protection of employees who are often managing the companies' most critical intellectual property. The Firebox T10 features WatchGuard's cloud-based Rapid Deploy capability, which instantly self-configures and begins reporting back to the administrator's central console by simply plugging in the appliance.
 
As the Firebox T10 rolls out to the market, WatchGuard anticipates the small, cost-effective solution will also appeal to customers seeking full UTM protection for mobile kiosks and carts, such as those used in retail and health care environments, that regularly handle credit cards and personal information-and must meet the same stringent PCI and HIPAA compliance standards as larger offices and businesses.  
 
The Firebox T10 delivers not only the same powerful UTM capabilities as the company's larger models, including the rapid deploy functionality, but it also features the company's new visibility solution, WatchGuard Dimension. This zero-install, cloud-ready tool provides real-time security intelligence, and allows administrators to have big-data-style views of key threats and top site usage across an entire user base. Plus, WatchGuard UTM solutions feature full versions of the industry's best-of-breed technologies including: AntiSPAM, AntiVirus, and URL filtering.
 
The Firebox T10 is the industry's only enterprise-level UTM solution with comprehensive services for the home office at a reasonable price. Lastly, with the Firebox T10 and the full UTM suite on site, users will not experience the latency normally caused by backhauling traffic thorough the corporate servers to ensure protection.
