New Features

FireCloud Internet Access

A new WatchGuard product, FireCloud Internet Access, is now available to beta test. FireCloud is a managed cloud-based firewall-as a-service. FireCloud protects your remote users against Internet-based security threats.

With FireCloud, you can configure these security settings to protect your users:

Content Scanning

Scanning engines protect against spyware, viruses, malicious applications, spam email, and data leakage.

Network Blocking

You can use FireCloud to monitor and block common security threats, such as botnets, spyware, SQL injections, cross-site scripting, and buffer overflows.

Geolocation

Geolocation is a security service that enables FireCloud to detect the geographic locations of connections to and from your protected devices. In FireCloud, you can enable and configure Geolocation to block access to and from specific locations.

Content Filtering

Content filtering uses the WebBlocker and Application Control security services to block specific content categories and applications.

You configure FireCloud in the WatchGuard Cloud platform, and end-users connect to the service with the WatchGuard Connection Manager. When end-users are connected to FireCloud, FireCloud protects them from threats so that they can safely use their computer and browse the Internet.

To get started, go to Quick Start — Set Up FireCloud and explore the FireCloud help documentation.
