WatchGuard's Security Services
In addition to offering a comprehensive suite of on-premises and cloud-based management and visibility tools, WatchGuard has developed an extensive catalog of security services that work with WatchGuard's Firebox T and M Series firewall appliances and with Firebox Cloud and FireboxV virtual firewalls. These services are available on a subscription basis and are packaged in two major bundles called the Basic Security Suite and the Total Security Suite. WatchGuard also offers these services individually for deployments with specific security requirements.
