WatchGuard® Technologies, a global leader of business security and connectivity solutions, today launched a new multifunction security appliance - the WatchGuard XTM 8 Series, which provides unmatched performance and protection against the next generation of network, application and data threats. The appliance was launched in Dubai on the first day of GITEX, the Middle East’s largest gathering of technology companies and professionals.
 
“With our recent acquisition of BorderWare we have bolstered our presence in the Middle East region and are pleased to launch our XTM 8 Series at GITEX Dubai 2009,” said Fabrizio Croce, SEMEA Area Manager. “Now more than ever businesses look to multifunction security appliances to keep their networks, applications and data safe. The WatchGuard XTM 8 Series provides an unmatched combination of high-performance, high-security, flexibility and scaleability for today’s business needs.”
 
Built for speed, the WatchGuard XTM 8 Series delivers 5Gbps firewall throughput, making it ideal for demanding networks of 1,000 to 5,000 users. With full security features activated, the XTM 8 Series achieves a faster-than-line-speed 1.2Gbps throughput, which represents a major leap forward for unified threat management appliances in delivering high security without compromising network performance.
 
Leveraging WatchGuard’s “defense-in-depth” firewall technology, which includes stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection and WatchGuard’s proprietary proxy technology, the XTM 8 Series embodies the latest security technologies to protect business networks. With its built in application proxies, the WatchGuard XTM 8 Series natively stops a myriad of blended threats, fragmented and malformed packet attacks, spyware, malware, denial of service and many other types of threats and attacks.
