WatchGuard Intrusion Prevention Service for Firebox T35-Rugged - Subscription License - 1 Appliance - 1 Year

Introducing the WatchGuard Intrusion Prevention Service (IPS) for Firebox T35-Rugged—a powerful, subscription-based defense that protects your network perimeter with real-time threat intelligence and automatic traffic blocking. This license is issued for a single Firebox T35-Rugged appliance and is valid for one year, delivering continuous protection without the complexity of manual updates or license gaps. IPS sits at the edge of your network, analyzing inbound and outbound traffic to detect and block malicious activity before it can compromise systems, data, or users. The result is a proactive, scalable security layer that reduces risk while maintaining network performance and reliability.

Designed for operational simplicity, IPS updates its threat signatures automatically as the threat landscape evolves. This means your Firebox remains current against new exploits, zero-days, and evolving attack techniques without requiring manual intervention from security staff. The service pairs broad threat coverage with precise controls, allowing administrators to tailor protection to their unique environment while preserving legitimate business traffic. Whether you manage a single site or a distributed network with remote offices, IPS on the Firebox T35-Rugged delivers consistent, enterprise-grade intrusion prevention with a cost-effective, manageable subscription model.

By leveraging signature-based detection across a spectrum of attack vectors, IPS defends against both network-level and application-level threats. It automates defense by blocking IP addresses flagged as attack sources, reducing attacker dwell time and the likelihood of successful intrusions. Signatures cover common and emerging threats—such as SQL injections, cross-site scripting (XSS), buffer overflows, denial of service (DoS), and remote file inclusions—across multiple protocols and services. This enables comprehensive protection for web-facing applications, email traffic, and core network services, all while maintaining the performance and reliability expected from a rugged, enterprise-ready firewall platform.

• IP addresses identified as attack sources are automatically blocked to prevent further malicious traffic from entering your network, reducing dwell time for attackers.
• Signatures are updated in real time as new threats emerge, ensuring continuous protection without manual interruptions or license gaps.
• With over 15,000 signatures covering SQL injections, cross-site scripting (XSS), buffer overflows, denial of service, and remote file inclusions, IPS provides broad threat coverage across web and network layers.
• Scans all major protocols (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, TCP, UDP, DNS, SMTP, and POP3) to block network, application, and protocol-based attacks before they reach critical systems.
• Designed specifically for the Firebox T35-Rugged appliance, this subscription license is issued for a single device for one year, delivering seamless protection without device reconfiguration.
