WatchGuard Launches New Small Business Security Appliance
Announcement posted by WatchGuard Technologies 30 Nov 2011
“Small businesses are increasingly becoming targets of hackers and sophisticated cyber attacks,” said Scott Robertson, Vice President of Channels and Alliances Asia Pacific, WatchGuard Technologies. “Easy to use and easy to manage, the WatchGuard XTM 330 is the ideal solution for small organisations. Now businesses with 50 employees can have the same type of security and protection that large enterprises, financial institutions and government agencies use to keep out spyware, malware and other web threats.”
WatchGuard XTM 330 – Feature Rich Protection for Value-Conscious Customers
The WatchGuard XTM 330 security appliance provides complete network security protection against today’s threats. The XTM 330 sports the latest security services from WatchGuard to meet any number of business needs. In addition to next-generation firewall and intrusion prevention capabilities, customers can choose to add Application Control, Gateway Anti-virus, WebBlocker, spamBlocker and WatchGuard’s context-aware, cloud-based security service, Reputation Enabled Defense.
Also, the WatchGuard XTM 330 takes advantage of cutting-edge innovations from WatchGuard, including the ability to create highly secure virtual private network (VPN) tunnels for Apple iPad, iPhone and other iOS-based devices. This way, small businesses can provide complete protection, even for popular devices that employees bring into the office.
Additional networking and VPN features allow for remote access, which is ideal for small businesses with remote or mobile workers. Also, the WatchGuard XTM 330 supports clientless single sign-on, which helps to ensure simple and accurate authentication for user and group-based policies.
Advanced management and logging features provide management with easy to use reports. This gives small businesses new insights as to web and application usage, as well as remediation abilities to enforce business and IT policies.
Because of the rich reporting and management features, the WatchGuard XTM 330 also makes for an ideal customer premise equipment (CPE) solution for managed security service providers (MSSPs).
Robertson concludes, “No other security appliance, UTM or next-generation firewall offers as much capability and firewall throughput in this price class than the WatchGuard XTM 330. For small businesses, this is a redefining moment to combat cyber-attacks and Internet criminals.”

The WatchGuard XTM 330 is available now from Firewall Systems and WhiteGold Solutions. List pricing for the XTM 330 begins at AUD $1,299 excluding GST and varies depending on security services selected. For more information, please go to www.watchguard.com
