Trade up to WatchGuard Firebox M5600 with 3-yr Total Security Suite

Upgrade your network security with confidence. The WatchGuard Firebox M5600 is engineered to replace older generation firewalls with a modern, scalable, enterprise-grade threat prevention platform. It delivers blistering firewall performance up to 60 Gbps and UTM throughput up to 11 Gbps, ensuring fast, secure, uninterrupted connections for the busiest networks. With the included 3-year Total Security Suite, you gain comprehensive protection across network, web traffic, and endpoint interactions, backed by WatchGuard’s threat intelligence and centralized management. This trade-up solution is purpose-built for organizations ready to elevate security without sacrificing performance, reliability, or ease of administration.

  • Blazing-fast firewall and UTM performance: The M5600 is designed to handle high-demand environments, delivering up to 60 Gbps firewall throughput and up to 11 Gbps UTM throughput. In practice, this means security inspections—IPS, application control, URL filtering, and anti-malware—happen in real time without slowing down legitimate traffic. This performance helps protect networks ranging from regional offices to large campuses while preserving user experience and productivity.
  • All-in-one security stack: With unified threat management at its core, the M5600 brings together a robust suite of security services. Expect advanced intrusion prevention, gateway antivirus, anti-spam protection, content and URL filtering, application control, and sandboxing. These layers work in concert to detect and block sophisticated threats, from phishing and malware to botnet activity and evasive exploits, all while maintaining policy consistency across users and devices.
  • Comprehensive threat protection you can rely on: The platform leverages WatchGuard’s threat intelligence to deliver proactive defense against zero-day exploits and rapidly evolving attack techniques. Automated policy updates and intelligent traffic analysis help minimize dwell time for attackers, reduce false positives, and keep critical services available. This yields a secure, compliant environment for employees, contractors, and partners, without sacrificing productivity.
  • Lifetime value with a 3-year Total Security Suite: The package includes a 3-year Total Security Suite, delivering ongoing access to WatchGuard’s security services and threat intelligence. You’ll receive regular updates, new features, and expanded protection as threats evolve, all under a single, predictable licensing model. This reduces the administrative overhead of renewals and ensures your security posture remains current with minimal effort.
  • Streamlined upgrade path from older devices: The Trade-up program is designed to simplify replacement of legacy WatchGuard hardware. It provides a clear migration path, practical tooling, and alignment of licenses to minimize downtime and operational disruption. Organizations can move from older generation firewalls to the M5600’s modern security stack with confidence, knowing protection scales with their evolving network needs.

How to install Trade up to WatchGuard Firebox M5600

  • Plan and license: verify you have an active 3-year Total Security Suite and any required licenses for security features. Confirm compatibility with your existing network, and decide whether you’ll manage the device via WatchGuard Cloud or WatchGuard System Manager (WSM) for centralized control.
  • Prepare the environment: designate a secure, cooled rack or cabinet location. Ensure physical access is controlled and that redundancy (power, network paths) aligns with your business continuity plans.
  • Initial hardware setup: rack or mount the Firebox M5600, connect power, and attach network interfaces to your WAN and LAN segments. Verify link activity and confirm basic hardware health indicators before powering on the system.
  • Access and secure management: boot the device and access the management interface through the local Web UI or a secure management console. Enable HTTPS, set strong administrator credentials, and configure initial access controls to limit management access to authorized personnel.
  • Policy migration and firmware: migrate existing firewall policies or recreate them in the new platform, then apply the latest firmware and security updates. Validate essential security features—IPS, web filtering, VPN—are active and aligned with your security posture and compliance requirements.
  • Activate and tune security services: enable the 3-year Total Security Suite features, configure site-to-site and remote access VPNs if needed, and set up alerts, dashboards, and reporting. Calibrate threat prevention thresholds to balance protection with legitimate traffic.
  • Testing and validation: conduct throughput tests, verify policy enforcement across users and devices, run basic vulnerability checks, and confirm that mission-critical applications remain accessible. Prepare a rollback plan in case of unexpected issues during rollout.
