However, a feature not available on any of the tabletop models is data leak prevention (DLP) as the OEM partner WatchGuard worked with failed to update its signatures and was dropped. Unlike the entry-level tabletop Fireboxes, the T80 supports the Access Portal feature which provisions secure, client-free VPN connections to cloud-hosted apps and can integrate with SSO and MFA providers.

The T80 offers a wealth of VPN services with support for site-to-site IPsec tunnels plus mobile IPsec, PPTP and L2TP clients along with SSL VPNs. Secure software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) services are provided so you can designate multiple ports as external interfaces, link them together with rules and use packet loss, latency or jitter thresholds to determine routing decisions and failover. WatchGuard’s DNSWatch service also monitors client DNS requests and blocks access to known malicious domains. TSS includes WatchGuard’s RED (reputation enabled defence) service for tougher web security and the T80 has enough horsepower to run the IntelligentAV feature, which employs the Cylance AI-based scanning engine. WatchGuard Firebox T80 review: Security choices As with the T70, it has the same octet of Gigabit ports with PoE+ on the last two but scores higher for expansion as it supports an optional 10GbE SFP+ module, which costs a modest £153. The new hardware allows the T80 to offer a high raw firewall throughput of 4.7Gbits/sec dropping to a respectable 631Mbits/sec with the AV, IPS and application control services enabled. Whereas the T70 uses a 1.6GHz Intel Celeron CPU, 2GB of DDR3 memory and a 16GB SSD, the T80 boasts a 1.2GHz quad-core NXP LS1046A CPU, 4GB of faster DDR4 memory and a 128GB SSD. The T80 is a very different beast to WatchGuard’s older T70 tabletop appliance. We review the top-dog Firebox T80 which targets mid-sized offices and offers total gateway security and more at a very competitive price. Along with acquiring Panda Security and its excellent cloud endpoint protection services, it has now launched a range of three new Firebox tabletop security appliances. It’s been a busy year for WatchGuard so far.
