Business security innovator WatchGuard Technologies made some waves in the unified threat management (UTM) market last week with the release of its latest WatchGuard XTM 5 Series network security appliances.†
o;Packed with key security features as well as next-generation Application Control capabilities, the New XTM 5 Series gives businesses a solution to block the latest web threats as well as the ability to improve employee productivity,” says Roger Klorese, WatchGuard’s director of product management.
Designed specifically for SMBs, the new WatchGuard XTM 5 Series is available in four new models: XTM 515, XTM 525, XTM 535, and the XTM 545.†
Basic firewall throughput starts at 2 Gbps for the XTM 515 and increases up to 3.5 Gbps for the XTM 545. Throughput starts at 850 Mbps for the XTM 515 and increases up to 1.23Gbps for the XTM 545.
With WatchGuard Application Control, SMBs gain in-depth, granular control over Web 2.0 applications, including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and hundreds others.
In addition to the integrated firewall, IPS, and Application Control features that are the bare essentials for next-generation security, customers step up to full next generation UTM with the option to add Gateway Anti-virus, WebBlocker, spamBlocker, and Reputation Enabled Defense — WatchGuard’s context-aware, cloud-based security service†– to best meet their business needs.
Also, the New WatchGuard XTM 5 Series takes advantage of the ability to create highly secure virtual private network (VPN) tunnels for Apple iPad, iPhone, and other iOS-based devices, as well as smartphones and tablets powered by Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) or later.†
Pricing for the New WatchGuard XTM 5 Series starts at $1,765. All four models are available now from authorized WatchGuard resellers worldwide.† †
