FireCloud Total Access: Secure Every User, Connection & Workplace Everywhere
With hybrid work, cloud applications, and distributed teams now the standard, organizations face a critical challenge: how to deliver secure, seamless access to both cloud-hosted and private applications without relying on outdated remote user VPNs or complex hardware.
At WatchGuard, we believe real security means more than just protection, it means simplicity, performance, and operational fit for how your business works. We recognize that the modern network requires a new approach. Workforces are distributed, applications span cloud and on-premises, and the attack surface is everywhere. For decades, our Firebox platform has been trusted to deliver best-in-class perimeter and branch security, protecting offices, IoT environments, and critical infrastructure. With ongoing hardware and software upgrades across our entire Firebox line, we continue to ensure customers benefit from cutting-edge performance and the latest security capabilities at the network edge.
But, as the perimeter dissolves, we are extending that same commitment to simplicity, performance, and security into the cloud. That's why we're excited to announce the launch of FireCloud Total Access, the next step in our FireCloud family of secure access service edge (SASE) solutions. Together, Firebox and FireCloud position WatchGuard as a leader in securing the modern hybrid network, from on-premises to cloud to everywhere work happens.
What Is FireCloud Total Access?
FireCloud Total Access is a cloud-delivered zero trust solution that unifies secure access for Internet, SaaS, and private applications. It extends the protections of FireCloud Internet Access, including Firewall as a Service (FWaaS) and Secure web gateway (SWG), and adds Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) to safeguard sensitive internal apps without exposing them to the Internet.
Deployed and managed entirely in WatchGuard Cloud, FireCloud Total Access eliminates the complexity of remote user VPNs while giving IT administrators centralized visibility, consistent policy enforcement, and identity-based security across every user and device.
Why FireCloud Total Access?
1. VPN Replacement for the Everywhere Workforce
Traditional remote user VPNs are slow, complex, and risky. FireCloud Total Access replaces VPNs with identity-driven, session-based access. Users connect directly to the apps and data they need, ensuring faster performance, stronger security, and reduced attack surfaces.
2. Zero Trust Made Simple
ZTNA can feel complex, but FireCloud Total Access makes it practical. Utilizing automated user identity verification, device health, and context (location, time, behavior), it ensures continuous protection without slowing down productivity.
3. Unified Security Everywhere
Whether employees are connecting to SaaS platforms, cloud workloads, or on-premises applications, FireCloud Total Access enforces the same protections. Remote users, branch offices, and hybrid networks all operate under one consistent security model.
4. Built for Hybrid IT Environments
FireCloud Total Access works seamlessly with WatchGuard Firebox, enabling organizations to protect both cloud and on-prem networks under a single management plane. It's a realistic path to zero trust for businesses managing a mix of legacy infrastructure and cloud adoption.
5. Simplified Management Through WatchGuard Cloud
All policies, reporting, and enforcement are managed through WatchGuard Cloud. This gives IT teams and MSPs centralized control, real-time insights, and easier operations, without new hardware, multiple policy engines, or extra consoles.
Who Should Use FireCloud Total Access?
FireCloud Total Access is designed for organizations that need to:
- Replace remote user VPNs with a modern, zero trust alternative.
- Protect remote and hybrid employees accessing both cloud and private apps.
- Extend consistent protections across SaaS, cloud workloads, and internal networks.
- Simplify management with centralized, cloud-based control.
A Trusted Evolution - Not a New Start
FireCloud Total Access isn’t a separate system – it’s the next step in our platform evolution. It’s a seamless operational fit for existing WatchGuard environments, extending our legacy of real, actionable security into the cloud era.
