FireCloud at a Glance
No Hardware Required
FireCloud delivers full NGFW inspection from the cloud. Branches and remote users connect without
deploying a physical appliance, reducing hardware costs and complexity.
Full Security Stack
Intrusion Prevention, Application Control, URL Filtering, antivirus, and botnet detection are all
included. FireCloud does not trade inspection depth for delivery model.
Unified Management
FireCloud policies are managed from WatchGuard Cloud alongside physical Firebox appliances, giving
administrators a single policy framework for every location.
Scalable by Design
FireCloud scales automatically with traffic volume. Organizations can add users or locations without
pre-provisioning additional capacity.
Not Sure Whether FireCloud or a Firebox Appliance Is the Right Fit?
FireCloud and the Firebox hardware line are managed from the same console and can coexist in the same
deployment. Our pre-sales team can walk you through the differences and help you decide what makes sense
for each location or use case.
WatchGuard FireCloud is a cloud-delivered firewall-as-a-service (FWaaS) solution.
It provides full next-generation firewall inspection, including IPS, application control, URL
filtering, and antivirus, delivered from WatchGuard's cloud infrastructure. It is designed for
distributed organizations, cloud workloads, and remote branch connectivity where deploying a physical
appliance is not practical or preferred.
No. FireCloud delivers firewall services entirely from WatchGuard's cloud
infrastructure. Branches and remote users connect to the nearest WatchGuard cloud enforcement point
without any on-site hardware. If you already have physical Firebox appliances at some locations, those
can coexist and be managed from the same WatchGuard Cloud console.
FireCloud includes Intrusion Prevention (IPS), Application Control, URL Filtering,
antivirus, and botnet detection. These are the same security service categories available on
WatchGuard's Firebox hardware line, delivered without a physical appliance at each site.
FireCloud supports IPsec VPN, SD-WAN, and branch-to-cloud connectivity. Traffic
from branch offices and remote users is routed to the nearest WatchGuard cloud enforcement point for
inspection. This keeps latency low while applying consistent security policies across every connected
location.
FireCloud is available as a subscription, licensed per user or per bandwidth tier
depending on your deployment model. Licenses are managed from WatchGuard Cloud alongside any Firebox
hardware subscriptions you hold. Contact Firewalls.com for current pricing, volume discounts, and
guidance on which licensing model fits your organization.
Add Firewall Protection at Every Location Without Adding Hardware
FireCloud makes it straightforward to extend NGFW security to branches, remote workers, and cloud
workloads. Talk to our team to get a quote, compare subscription tiers, or discuss how FireCloud fits
alongside your existing WatchGuard infrastructure.
