Best WatchGuard Firebox NV5 hardware firewall 1.5 Gbit/s for Business

Edge Connectivity for Remote Applications
Not every device sits in a corporate office but all should have corporate-level protection. With enterprise-class SD-WAN capabilities, the NV5 is ideal for deployment in remote applications like kiosks, digital signs, ATMs, and office equipment.

Designed to support remote VPN connections back to a corporate virtual or physical Firebox, the NV5 can route traffic back to the corporate security appliance using WatchGuard Branch Office VPN (BOVPN) capabilities to provide the same level of protection as a device sitting at the corporate office.

Cloud Managed
Streamline network setup for the NV5 in WatchGuard Cloud. You can easily define network segments, keeping things like VoIP systems or IoT devices separate from your business-critical applications. Creating a VPN deployment is a breeze. With pre-configured policies you can get up and running quickly ‒ and securely. With Live Status, WatchGuard Cloud provides visibility into your network so that you can make timely, informed, and effective decisions about your network and security configurations.

Zero-Touch Deployment
WatchGuard RapidDeploy makes it possible to eliminate much of the labor involved in setting up a Firebox to work for your network ‒ all without having to leave your office. RapidDeploy is a powerful, Cloud-based deployment and configuration tool that comes standard with the Firebox NV5. Local staff simply connect the device to power and the Internet, and the NV5 automatically downloads and applies the pre-determined configuration.

Single User Experience
The Firebox NV5 utilizes the same platform as other WatchGuard Firebox, Wi-Fi, authentication, and endpoint solutions. Whether scheduling firmware upgrades or monitoring access points, technicians have one user experience.

Network Adaptation with SD-WAN
Businesses require network solutions that adapt to changing conditions by optimizing network performance and costs. Dynamic path selection picks the most appropriate connection based on real-time monitoring of jitter, packet loss, and latency. Utilizing this technology, the Firebox NV5 makes it easy to reduce the use of expensive MPLS or 4G/LTE and improve network resiliency, while maintaining security.
