New Firebox M Series: Integrated Security for MSPs and Growing Networks
At WatchGuard, we’re committed to helping managed service providers (MSPs) and businesses of all sizes simplify security while scaling for growth. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our next-generation Firebox rackmount appliances, the Firebox M Series.
When we released the next-generation Firebox T Series a few months ago, we emphasized a more intelligent, compact firewall platform for distributed environments, one that delivers AI-powered threat detection, cloud readiness, and energy-efficient design. Now, with the launch of our Firebox M Series rackmount appliances, we’re building on that momentum, bringing to MSPs and growing enterprises the power, scale, and integration needed for modern networks.
Powerful Security that Scales Without Sacrificing Speed
The new M Series delivers up to twice the throughput of its predecessor and is designed to grow with your business ‒ no hardware swaps required. Highlights include:
- Built-In Multi-Gig and SFP/SFP+ Connectivity: Up to 10 Gbps per port, included by default across all models, removing the need for extra modules or switches.
- Intel-Powered Architecture: Reliable high performance even with full inspection and all security services enabled.
- FireCloud Total Access: Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) can be added through a limited-time promotion, ensuring remote users are protected from the start.
- Licensing Flexibility and Easy Upgrades: Unlock new features via firmware updates and service tiers ‒ scaling capabilities without changing appliances.
- Sustainability in Mind: Eco-friendly packaging, recyclable materials, and lower energy usage align with WatchGuard’s Climate Pledge.
Ready for Distributed Organizations of Any Size
The lineup has expanded to five models (up from four in the last generation), offering the right fit for diverse environments:
- M295: Perfect for small businesses or regional sites moving up from desktop firewalls.
- M395: Balanced performance and cost for SMEs, retail, and distributed branches.
- M495: Compliance-focused protection for education, healthcare, and other regulated industries.
- M595: Optimized for hybrid deployments in manufacturing, public sector, and similar environments.
- M695: Highest throughput option with redundant power for MSP-hosted services and data-heavy workloads.
