WatchGuard releases Firebox M440 

Firebox M440 has multiple ports, does not require complex VLAN configurations and simplifies the critical process of applying traffic-appropriate policies for multiple network segments.

“Network security solutions are only good if they’re not too difficult for IT pros to use,” said Dave R. Taylor, VP of corporate strategy and product management for WatchGuard in a press release. “The Firebox M440 makes it drop-dead easy to create segments, map the traffic, create custom policies based on what traffic is in each segment, and instantly see how it affects traffic. Applying the appropriate security policies to the correct traffic flows is what truly defines the success of your segmentation strategy and the Firebox M440 takes the configuration complexity out of the process.”

WatchGuard says that Dimension, its visibility solution, also provides a single-pane-of-glass view to show the effect each policy has on segment’s traffic.
