We have introduced several hardware firewalls on this website so far. In this post also, we intend to do the same. Watchguard is one of the well-known manufacturers of network security products. We have examined several well-known firewalls in the network world. Now it is time to check the firewalls of this manufacturer.
Watchguard generally has two series of firewalls:
- Tabletop Firebox Appliances (T-Series): This series products are Ideal for small, home, and branch office locations. These firewalls have Built-in PoE but Wi-Fi is optional.
- Rackmount Firebox Appliances (M-Series): This series products are Ideal for midsize and distributed enterprise organizations. These appliances are 1U rackmount.
