Description

The WatchGuard Firebox T85-PoE is a robust network security appliance designed for growing businesses that need enterprise-grade protection at the edge. It delivers high-performance firewall throughput, multi-layer threat prevention, and easy manageability in a compact, energy-efficient form factor. With built-in Power over Ethernet, it can power IP cameras, VoIP phones, and other edge devices directly from the firewall, reducing equipment clutter and simplifying deployment. This makes the T85-PoE an ideal choice for branch offices, retail locations, or small data centers where security, reliability, and operational simplicity are paramount. The appliance integrates seamlessly with WatchGuard Cloud for centralized management, policy enforcement, and real-time visibility, while offering scalable licensing that lets you start with core protections and expand as your network evolves. In short, the Firebox T85-PoE combines enterprise-class security with practical flexibility to protect users, devices, and data across distributed networks.

  • Enterprise-grade security stack at the edge: The Firebox T85-PoE employs a layered defense that includes stateful firewalling, Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), application control, gateway antivirus, and DNS filtering to stop threats before they reach endpoints. Deep packet inspection and traffic profiling help you enforce precise policies without sacrificing performance, while threat intelligence from WatchGuard feeds keeps you ahead of evolving attack patterns.
  • Integrated PoE for simplified deployment: With built-in Power over Ethernet, you can power compatible cameras, VoIP phones, and sensors directly from the device. This reduces wiring, eliminates the need for separate power supplies, and streamlines site installation—especially in remote or distributed locations where IT resources may be limited.
  • High performance and scalable throughput: Engineered to handle growing traffic with minimal latency, the T85-PoE leverages hardware acceleration and multi-core processing to sustain secure throughput as your network expands. This means you can protect multiple users, devices, and apps in real time without bottlenecks during business hours or peak periods.
  • Flexible management and proactive visibility: Manage security policy, VPNs, and threat protections from a central console. WatchGuard Cloud provides centralized visibility, dashboards, and reporting, while on-site administration remains straightforward through the local management interface. Comprehensive logs, alerts, and analytics help IT teams enforce compliance and respond quickly to incidents.
  • Reliability, remote access, and ongoing protection: The T85-PoE supports reliable remote access and secure site-to-site VPN, ensuring remote users can connect safely. Regular firmware updates, security service licensing, and cloud-based threat intelligence ensure defenses adapt to new vulnerabilities. The appliance is designed for 24/7 operation in office environments and is supported by WatchGuard’s professional support ecosystem.
