WatchGuard Firebox X550e WG505502 Product Datasheet

The Firebox X Core is built on an intelligent layered 
architecture. Security layers work together to 
strengthen overall protection, while cooperative 
communication between layers reduces and fine tunes 
the processing. The result – you get the protection you 
need to stay safe without sacrificing performance.

When security vulnerabilities in software allow new 
network attacks to be introduced, the proactive 
defenses of Firebox X Core ensure your network and 
users are safe. Sophisticated proxy technologies 
perform deep application inspection to identify 
and block emerging threats, providing automatic 
protection from spyware, trojans, worms, DoS, DDoS, 
DNS poisoning, buffer overflows, and other attacks.

WatchGuard®System Manager (WSM) makes 
centralized management of Firebox X deployments 
intuitive – regardless of their size. Administrators save 
time and money using the interface to easily create 
and deploy configuration changes, monitor real-time 
data, and generate historical reports.

Boost defenses in critical attack areas by adding 
powerful security subscriptions to your Firebox X.  All 
subscriptions are centrally managed using WSM and 
continuously updated for the most current protection.
