WatchGuard Technologies makes Firebox network security appliances and virtual firewalls, endpoint security, multi-factor authentication and managed detection and response services. Firebox features are licensed through security suite subscriptions per appliance, while cloud services are licensed per user or endpoint as term or monthly subscription licences.

Licensing at a Glance

  • Subscription
  • Per device
  • Named user

  1. To add a Firebox to WatchGuard Cloud it must have an active Total Security Suite or Basic Security Suite licence, or a Standard Support licence that includes WatchGuard Cloud access; the Firebox Cloud Hourly licence does not include WatchGuard Cloud support.[1]

  2. Log data retention in WatchGuard Cloud depends on the suite: 365 days for Log Manager with Total Security Suite and 90 days with Basic Security Suite, extendable with a Data Retention licence.[2]

  3. Endpoint Security products are licensed per endpoint; the licence covers a limited number of servers (up to 10% of the endpoints), beyond which an Endpoint Security for Servers licence is required.[3]

  4. Endpoint Security is sold as term licences (a set number of endpoints for a set duration) or subscription licences billed monthly on the number of endpoints allocated; one-time 30-day trials are available.[4]

  5. WatchGuard cloud services are licensed per user or endpoint, and the Zero-Trust and Passport bundles combine licences for services such as AuthPoint, FireCloud, DNSWatchGO and endpoint security.[5]

  6. WatchGuard EDR Core is included in the Firebox Total Security Suite for a limited number of endpoints based on the Firebox model.[6]
