WatchGuard FireboxV Micro + 3 Years Basic Security Suite - License - 1 License

Meet the WatchGuard FireboxV Micro, a compact, powerful virtual firewall appliance that brings enterprise-grade security to small businesses, remote offices, and managed service providers. Paired with a 3-year Basic Security Suite license, this combination delivers robust threat prevention, policy enforcement, and automatic updates without the expense and footprint of traditional hardware. The micro-virtual appliance is designed for flexible deployment across virtualized environments, private clouds, and MSP-managed tenants, offering a scalable security foundation for diverse networking needs. With the WatchGuard MSSP Partner Program in mind, this solution makes it easy for managed security service providers to onboard multiple customers, standardize security policies, and deliver consistent protection across a growing portfolio of tenants—all from a single control plane. If you’re seeking a reliable, cost-efficient path to perimeter defense, secure access, and policy-driven control, FireboxV Micro with Basic Security Suite is engineered to fit.

• Ultra-compact, flexible deployment: FireboxV Micro is a lightweight virtual firewall that runs on standard hypervisors and cloud environments. Its small footprint means you can deploy powerful security without adding hardware, and it integrates with WatchGuard Cloud for centralized visibility, simplified policy management, and consistent security across locations. This makes it an ideal option for small offices, remote sites, or MSPs managing multiple clients from one dashboard.
• 3-year Basic Security Suite license included: The bundle includes a long-term security subscription that covers essential threat prevention, policy enforcement, and ongoing signature updates for a full three years. The Basic Security Suite is designed to shield your network from known and emerging threats while maintaining a streamlined management experience. It’s purpose-built to complement existing security controls and provide reliable protection for organizations that value simplicity and durability in their defense posture.
• Single-license, multi-tenant protection for MSPs: Tailored for the WatchGuard MSSP Partner Program, this license supports multi-tenant management with a straightforward licensing model. MSPs can onboard multiple customer tenants, apply consistent security policies, and monitor activity from a single console. This approach reduces administrative overhead, speeds up incident response, and helps MSP teams scale security delivery as their client base grows.
• Enterprise-grade security without hardware costs: By bringing WatchGuard’s proven threat prevention, content filtering, and policy enforcement into a virtual form factor, FireboxV Micro delivers robust protection without the need for bulky hardware. The 3-year license ensures ongoing protection with automatic updates and security signature improvements, helping you stay ahead of evolving threats while keeping total cost of ownership lower than traditional appliances.
• Centralized management and visibility: The solution aligns with WatchGuard Cloud and traditional management tools to provide centralized configuration, policy tuning, and real-time monitoring. You’ll benefit from comprehensive dashboards, event correlation, and a unified policy model that applies consistently across virtual instances and tenants. This clarity supports faster incident response, easier compliance reporting, and stronger governance for distributed networks.
