SEATTLE, June 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WatchGuard Technologies<\/a>, a global leader in unified cybersecurity\u00a0for MSPs, today announced a new generation of Firebox\u00a0rackmount appliances designed to help Managed\u00a0Service\u00a0Providers\u00a0(MSPs)\u00a0and\u00a0enterprise\u00a0organizations scale security performance without adding operational complexity.\u00a0The new Firebox appliances deliver industry-best\u00a0firewall\u00a0performance, built-in high-speed connectivity and enterprise-class reliability for large, distributed environments and\u00a0modern\u00a0networks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMSPs and IT teams shouldn\u2019t have to choose between enterprise-grade performance and operational simplicity,\u201d said Andrew Young, Chief Product Officer at WatchGuard Technologies. \u201cWith our new high-performance Firebox appliances, we\u2019re enabling partners to confidently support larger, more demanding customer environments while maintaining the streamlined deployment, management, and licensing experience that defines the WatchGuard platform.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new Firebox appliances feature three performance tiers to support evolving\u00a0MSP and enterprise\u00a0requirements, including a comprehensive set of\u00a0high-speed network integrations\u00a0for\u00a0native\u00a025G and 100G connectivity. WatchGuard is also the first vendor to\u00a0incorporate\u00a0an industry-standard OCP 3.0 expansion bay\u00a0into\u00a0a firewall\u00a0platform, enabling all three models to\u00a0deliver\u00a0100G\u00a0networking\u00a0today while future-proofing the\u00a0architecture for\u00a0next-generation expansion. The appliances include redundant power supplies and hot-swappable fans as standard to\u00a0provide the resiliency, uptime and operational continuity\u00a0required\u00a0for mission-critical and campus deployments.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cMidmarket and distributed enterprise organizations increasingly require security solutions that provide scalability, performance and efficacy without adding complexity to the operation of the solution,\u201d\u00a0said\u00a0Pete Finalle, Research Manager at IDC. \u201cSolutions that can balance operational and security outcomes while reducing overhead are particularly attractive to MSPs seeking versatile solutions that can expand into larger customer environments.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The rapid growth of encrypted traffic and high-speed network modernization\u00a0has forced\u00a0MSPs and IT teams to reconsider\u00a0their approach to delivering\u00a0scalable security without sacrificing operational simplicity.\u00a0The new Firebox appliances provide a clear growth path with predictable security performance, integrated high-speed\u00a0networking\u00a0and simplified management through WatchGuard\u2019s\u00a0Unified\u00a0Security\u00a0Platform\u00ae.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cOur customers expect high performance and reliability, but they also expect simplicity,\u201d said Kris Vastenavondt, Security Engineer and WatchGuard\u00a0trainer,\u00a0Infinigate, a WatchGuard Distributor. \u201cThe new Firebox appliances give us the ability to support larger and more complex environments while continuing to manage security efficiently across customers.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
