New Firebox M Series from WatchGuard

Scalable Security That Evolves with Your Business

As cyber threats grow more sophisticated and digital operations become increasingly complex, businesses need more than static defences.

They require dynamic, scalable security that adapts to changing demands, without compromising on performance or budget.

That is precisely what WatchGuard’s new Firebox M Series delivers.

Enterprise Grade Protection for Growing Networks

The WatchGuard Firebox M Series is engineered for organisations that demand high throughput, granular control, and future-ready architecture.

Whether you’re securing a small office, a multi-site enterprise, or a data-intensive environment, these rack mounted firebox firewalls offer:

  • Advanced firewalling to inspect encrypted traffic and support bandwidth-heavy applications.
  • Zero trust access via FireCloud Total Access, ensuring only verified users and devices gain entry.
  • Unified threat management with built-in intrusion prevention, malware detection, and content filtering

This is not just a firewall, it is a strategic security platform designed to grow with your business.

WatchGuard Firebox M Series – Flexible, Cost-Efficient Scalability

One of the key advantages of the WatchGuard Firebox M Series is its modular scalability.

As your network expands, the Firebox adapts, eliminating the need for disruptive hardware replacements.

Watchguard Firebox M Series Key Benefits Include

  • Multi-gigabit throughput to support cloud applications, remote work, and hybrid infrastructure.
  • Centralised management across distributed sites via WatchGuard Cloud
  • Seamless integration with WatchGuard’s Unified Security Platform® for simplified policy enforcement

For businesses and IT leaders, this means predictable costs, reduced complexity, and faster deployment.

Security Features – WatchGuard Firebox M Series Supports Zero Trust Access and Multi-Factor Authentication MFA

The Firebox M Series integrates seamlessly with WatchGuard’s zero trust architecture via FireCloud Total Access, enforcing strict identity verification across users, devices, and locations.

It also supports multi-factor authentication (MFA) through WatchGuard AuthPoint, ensuring that only authorised personnel can access sensitive resources, whether on-site or remote.

How Does Firecloud Total Access Integrate with The M Series?

FireCloud Total Access extends zero trust principles to the Firebox M Series by enabling policy-based access control, device posture checks, and identity-driven segmentation.

This integration allows IT teams to enforce granular access rules based on user roles, device health, and location, all managed centrally via WatchGuard Cloud.

What Threat Protection Services Are Included?

The M Series includes a full suite of Unified Threat Management (UTM) capabilities, such as:

  • Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)
  • Gateway AntiVirus
  • Advanced malware detection via APT Blocker
  • DNSWatch for DNS-level filtering and phishing protection
  • Application control and web content filtering

These services work in concert to block known and emerging threats in real time, reducing risk across the entire network.

Intelligent Security for Modern Workflows – WatchGuard Firebox M Series

The Firebox M Series is built with operational efficiency in mind.

It empowers IT teams with:

  • Real-time visibility into network activity and threat posture
  • Automated policy enforcement across users, devices, and locations
  • Cloud-based configuration and monitoring for rapid response and simplified updates

This level of control is essential for maintaining compliance, securing remote endpoints, and responding to threats at speed.

Performance & Scalability – What Throughput Can I Expect For VPN, Firewall, And UTM Services?

Performance varies by model, but the M Series is designed for multi-gigabit throughput across all major functions:

  • Firewall throughput: Up to 38 Gbps
  • VPN throughput: Up to 10 Gbps
  • UTM throughput (with full security services enabled): Up to 5 Gbps

This ensures smooth performance even under heavy traffic loads, encrypted sessions, and hybrid cloud usage.

Can I Upgrade Performance Without Replacing the Hardware?

Absolutely. The Firebox M Series supports modular scalability, allowing organisations to increase capacity and enable additional services without swapping out the appliance.

Licences and feature sets can be upgraded via WatchGuard Cloud, making it easy to scale security as business needs evolve.

Is The M Series Suitable for Multi-Branch or Hybrid Cloud Deployments?

Yes. The M Series is ideal for distributed networks, multi-site businesses, and hybrid cloud environments.

It supports centralised policy management, site-to-site VPNs, and cloud-based monitoring, enabling consistent protection across all locations — whether physical or virtual.
