WatchGuard Firebox M440
Robust Port Density Delivers Stronger Security
The Firebox M440 incorporates the same strong defenses, high performance and flexible management tools that distinguish our other network security solutions, but this model delivers especially robust port density with twenty-five 1Gb Ethernet ports and two 10 Gb SFP+ (fiber) ports. Eight of the 1Gb ports provide Power over Ethernet (PoE), which is ideal for connecting WatchGuard Wi-Fi cloud-managed access points.
Because it's rich in independent ports, the Firebox M440 is an excellent platform for defining different network segments, which industry experts acknowledge as the best practice for securing and protecting data.

Authentication is not enough to protect the network
Authentication is not enough to protect the network
Authentication, while important, is no guarantee that you won’t be breached. Businesses lose millions from network and security breaches each year, even with correctly implemented authentication in place. If attackers gain physical network access, they can exploit software flaws to bypass authentication and access your data. If you really want to limit access, you need to segment resources at a physical level, too. The M440, with its rich port density, gives you abundant options for flexible segmentation strategies, and that means better security and stronger protection for your data.
Blazing Fast Performance
Blazing Fast Performance
Organizations must take a layered approach to security when it comes to protecting their networks. Other manufacturers might offer faster throughput for one single security technology, but WatchGuard’s Firebox platform is engineered to deliver the fastest throughput when it matters – with all security scanning engines running – so there’s no need to compromise protection for strong performance or vice versa. Our Firebox M440 delivers multi-layered, interlocking security protects the network while throughput remains high.

Policy Made Easy
Policy Made Easy
The M440 makes it drop-dead easy for IT pros to create network segments, map the traffic, and create custom policies based on what traffic is in each segment. The Policy Map feature in WatchGuard Dimension, which comes standard on all M440 appliances, provides excellent visibility into each segment so you can instantly see how policy affects traffic.

Save Valuable IT Time
WatchGuard RapidDeploy takes the delay out of the firewall deployment process. The innovative, cloud-based configuration capabilities allow WatchGuard firewalls and UTM solutions to securely configure themselves. IT staff can create and store configuration data in the cloud – public or private – and have the appliance directly shipped to its destination. Once the device arrives, it effectively deploys itself by automatically connecting to the cloud for a secure download of its configuration settings, saving staff time and money.

Power for Peripheral Devices
Power for Peripheral Devices
The M440 includes 8 PoE ports to power peripheral devices, allowing administrators to extend the reach of their networks without having to run costly AC power to remote devices. This makes it easy and affordable to connect a WatchGuard cloud-ready Wi-Fi access point to extend multi-layered defenses to the WLAN.

With 25 1Gb ports and 2 10Gb ports, the M440 removes the need for complex configurations such as VLANs when segmenting the network.
Up to 6.7 Gbps firewall throughput and 3.2 Gbps VPN throughput. Turn on optional security services and still see an amazing 1.6 Gbps throughput.
By partnering with leading technology providers, WatchGuard is able to integrate best-in-class security components into one platform for stronger security at big cost savings.
High availability ensures maximum uptime. Buy two M440s for an active/passive high availability pair and receive 50% off the cost of the second device.
