A virtual firewall is a full WatchGuard firewall, delivered as a managed service instead of a box you buy and run. A small, preconfigured device at your site connects through an encrypted tunnel to your Virtual Firewall, so everything your office sends and receives is filtered on the way out and on the way back — before it reaches the internet or your network.
What the device does
We ship a small device preconfigured for your business. You plug it into your existing internet connection — it takes the place of your router or firewall, and no static IP is needed. Your computers, card terminals and Wi-Fi then connect through it, and clean traffic flows through the encrypted tunnel to your WatchGuard firewall and back.
What is included
The full WatchGuard security suite: intrusion prevention, gateway antivirus, reputation-based defense, web and spam filtering, and application control. Plus NinjaToolKit audits, threat monitoring and activity logs for compliance. Security updates are applied for you as new threats appear.
What it costs
$79 per location per month. The device is included (provided by eMazzanti while your service is active), there is no upfront cost, and there is no long-term contract. Our engineers set it up, apply updates and rule changes, and handle support — no IT staff needed on your side.
