The M590 stands out for its ability to deliver strong security without compromising user experience, making it a smart upgrade from smaller devices or less capable firewalls in multi-site environments.
In today’s threat landscape, speed and accuracy matter as much as coverage. The M590 delivers firewall throughput up to 20 Gbps, meaning your legitimate traffic—applications, cloud services, video conferencing, and remote access—travels unhindered. At the same time, it provides industry-leading UTM throughput for its class, combining multiple security services into a single, efficient pipeline. This balance of high performance and comprehensive protection helps protect endpoints, data, and workloads across your organization, from headquarters to branch offices and edge sites. Whether you’re consolidating security at a data center, deploying secure site-to-site connections, or empowering mobile users, the M590 is engineered to protect with minimal latency and predictable performance under load.
The M590 is designed to simplify security administration across distributed networks. It supports centralized policy management, scalable deployment options, and straightforward licensing to ensure uniform protection across locations. With a broad suite of security services integrated into a single appliance, organizations can enforce consistent rules, monitor risk, and respond rapidly to emerging threats. The device’s flexible hardware and robust software stack allow you to tailor protections to your environment—whether you need strict perimeter defenses, safe remote access for teleworkers, or granular application control for productivity and compliance. The inclusion of a 3-year Total Security Suite means you receive up-to-date protections, threat intelligence updates, and peace of mind that your investment stays current as threats evolve.
Deployment is designed to be practical and scalable. The M590 supports a range of network configurations and security services that can be adjusted as your network changes. It is well suited for multi-site organizations, distributed enterprises, and remote locations that require consistent, centralized policy enforcement without sacrificing performance. With a focus on simplicity, WatchGuard provides clear dashboards and intuitive controls that help IT teams deploy, monitor, and tune protection effectively. The result is stronger security posture, faster incident response, and fewer blind spots across your environment—crucial for businesses that rely on secure, reliable connectivity to power daily operations, collaboration, and customer interactions.
In short, the Firebox M590 is a sophisticated yet approachable security platform that combines strong firewall protections, comprehensive threat prevention, and flexible management for midsize networks. With a 3-year security suite included, enterprises can focus on growth and innovation while trusting that vital network edges are guarded by a consistent, scalable solution.
