Your traffic takes
a cleaner route.
Everything your office sends and receives passes through your Virtual Firewall, filtered on the way out and on the way back.
- Everything reaches your Virtual Firewall first
Websites, email, downloads and anyone trying to connect all pass through it before reaching your office.
- Threats are blocked, work gets through
The WatchGuard security suite blocks ransomware, phishing sites, malware and hacking attempts, while email, card payments and Microsoft 365 keep working.
- Clean traffic reaches your office
It travels through an encrypted tunnel to the small device on your router, then on to your computers, card terminals and Wi-Fi.
- NinjaToolKit audits your rules
In the background, eMazzanti’s AI audit engine reviews your firewall rules and flags gaps before they become problems.
Your rules, audited by AI.
Firewalls drift. Rules pile up and protection gets switched off over time. NinjaToolKit, eMazzanti’s own audit engine, keeps yours in check.
Learn how it works- Finds the gaps
Old or overly open rules, exceptions that became permanent, and protection that sits switched off.
- Checks on a schedule
Your firewall is reviewed regularly against current, common vulnerabilities, so it doesn’t drift out of date.
- An engineer approves every change
The AI only flags and suggests. Nothing on your firewall changes until an eMazzanti engineer reviews it.

Virtual Firewall, or a firewall in your office.
Both are managed by eMazzanti. Virtual Firewall is one plan
with no upfront cost; an on-site Firebox suits larger offices.

your auditors ask about.
NinjaToolKit’s audit reports give you evidence you can hand to an auditor or insurer.
NinjaToolKit supports your compliance work.
It doesn’t certify your business on its own.
Required for businesses that take card payments. Card devices run on their own separate network, and reports show the firewall rules that protect them.
A practical checklist of security basics. Reports show which firewall controls are in place and what to fix.
A widely used framework that cyber insurers and auditors recognize. Useful evidence for insurance renewals.
How it works
What is a virtual firewall?
A full WatchGuard firewall, delivered as a managed service. A small device at your site connects to it through an encrypted tunnel, so all your traffic is filtered before it reaches the internet or your network.
What do I need at my location?
Just your internet connection. We ship a preconfigured device with cables and a short setup guide. You plug it in, and we confirm you’re protected. No static IP is needed.
How many do I need?
One per location. Each office, store or site gets its own device.
Virtual Firewall or an on-site Firebox?
Virtual Firewall suits stores, small offices and multiple small sites. For larger offices, server rooms, or switches and Wi-Fi managed with the firewall, see our on-site plans on Guard Depot.
Plan and billing
What does it cost?
$79 per location per month. The device is included, and there is no upfront cost.
Are there licensing or upgrade costs?
No. The WatchGuard security licenses, updates and upgrades are included in the monthly price. The device is ours, so there is no hardware for you to replace.
Does it stay up to date?
Yes. Security updates are applied for you as new threats appear, and NinjaToolKit audits your firewall on a regular schedule. You never need to download updates or upgrade hardware.
Is there a contract?
No long-term contract. The service is charged monthly.
Do I buy the device?
No. eMazzanti provides the device while your plan is active.
Can I pay by invoice?
Yes. Prepare a quote on this page and reference the quote number to pay by invoice or bank transfer.
Protection
What does the firewall protect against?
Hacking attempts, malware and ransomware, phishing and harmful websites, and spam. It includes intrusion prevention, gateway antivirus, reputation-based defense, web and spam filtering, and application control.
What is NinjaToolKit?
eMazzanti’s AI audit engine. It reviews your firewall on a regular schedule, maps findings to compliance controls and suggests fixes. It is included at no extra cost.
Does it help with compliance?
It helps. NinjaToolKit’s audit reports give you evidence for PCI DSS, CIS Controls and NIST CSF. A firewall alone doesn’t make your business compliant.
