Firebox® X Peak Delivers

Complete Unified Threat Management

Firebox X Peak provides comprehensive security by integrating stateful packet firewall, VPN, true zero day attack prevention, anti-spyware, gateway anti-virus, intrusion prevention, anti-spam, and URL filtering into a single appliance, reducing the time and costs associated with managing multiple-point solutions.

True Zero Day Protection

Built-in zero day protection capabilities proactively defend the network when vulnerabilities in software make new kinds of attacks possible. This technology is far superior to signature-only solutions offered by other vendors that leave customers exposed to the latest threat until a new signature is written.

Granular Protection with Integrated Security Services

Each WatchGuard security service works cooperatively with the built-in zero day attack prevention of the Firebox X Peak for an unbeatable combination of security capabilities. These capabilities are fully integrated with the Firebox, so no additional hardware is required. Because subscriptions are priced per appliance, not per user, there are no escalating costs. These services are continuously updated to provide up-to-the-minute protection, and are centrally managed with real-time views of all service activities.
