Network
Firebox
The office firewall: intrusion prevention, web filtering, application control and VPN for remote work.
Business firewall: the office, remote work and every login, protected from one console.
We install WatchGuard Firebox firewalls, AuthPoint two-factor authentication, computer protection and managed Wi-Fi. Then we manage it all for you in WatchGuard Cloud, or train your team to do it.

What you need to know
WatchGuard, in three answers.
What is WatchGuard?
A security brand for businesses: Firebox firewalls, two-factor authentication, computer protection and Wi-Fi, all managed in the same console, WatchGuard Cloud.
What is a firewall for?
To control what comes in and goes out of the office network: it stops intrusions and dangerous sites, connects remote workers by VPN and keeps guest Wi-Fi apart.
Why with JWeb?
We are an official WatchGuard partner. We choose the right hardware, set it up and take over the management, or train your team.
Products
WatchGuard Firebox, AuthPoint, endpoint and Wi-Fi.
You can start with the firewall alone and add the rest when you need it. Everything stays in the same console.
Access
AuthPoint
Two-factor authentication: the password plus a confirmation on the phone, for the VPN, email and apps.
Computers
Endpoint
EDR and EPDR protection for computers, which detects suspicious behaviour and isolates the attacked computer.
Wireless
Wi-Fi
Cloud-managed access points, with the guest network kept apart from the company network.
Remote work
VPN for remote work: connect from home to the office securely.
VPN client on the computer
We install and set up the Firebox VPN (Mobile VPN with SSL or IKEv2) on the laptops of people who work away from the office.
Confirmation on the phone
With AuthPoint, every VPN connection asks for a confirmation, so a stolen password is not enough.
Already have WatchGuard?
We support the VPN and the Firebox you already have, even if we did not install them.
Licences
Basic or Total Security Suite: what changes.
Every Firebox needs a security licence, for 1 or 3 years. We choose with you based on risk and budget.
Essential
Basic Security
Intrusion prevention, gateway antivirus, web filtering, antispam, application control and discovery of the devices on the network.
Basic, plus
Total Security
Cloud analysis of suspicious files (APT Blocker), DNS protection, alert correlation between the network and computers (ThreatSync) and longer log retention.
Which one to choose? What each licence includes can change with WatchGuard releases. We confirm everything in the quote, for the Firebox model you choose.
Management
Managed by JWeb or by your team.
Installation and setup are always ours. Then you choose who looks after the console.
JWeb manages it for you
- we follow the alerts in WatchGuard Cloud;
- we update the Firebox and the rules;
- we add people to the VPN and AuthPoint;
- we handle licence renewals.
Your team manages it

- we train whoever will manage it;
- we stay on for support when needed.
More layers
The firewall protects the network. The rest matters too.
We combine WatchGuard with the rest of your company’s security.
Computers
Managed antivirus and EDR, for laptops that leave the office network.
Another firewall
We also install Sophos, when it makes more sense for your network.
Assessment and NIS2
Where to start, what is urgent and what the law requires.
How we work
How we install WatchGuard in your company.
Assessment

Installation
We swap the hardware without stopping the office and set up the VPN, filters and AuthPoint.
Management or training
We manage it for you in WatchGuard Cloud, or teach your team and stay on for support.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about WatchGuard.
Do I need a firewall if I already have antivirus?
Yes. Antivirus protects each computer. The firewall protects the whole network, including printers, cameras and devices without antivirus, and controls what comes in and goes out to the internet.
What is the difference between Basic and Total Security Suite?
Basic brings intrusion prevention, gateway antivirus, web filtering, antispam and application control. Total adds cloud analysis of suspicious files (APT Blocker), DNS protection, alert correlation (ThreatSync) and longer log retention. We explain both in the quote.
How much does a WatchGuard firewall cost?
It depends on the model, the number of people and the licence, for 1 or 3 years. Request a quote: it includes the hardware, the licence and installation.
Is WatchGuard suitable for a small business?
Yes. The desktop Firebox models are made for small and mid-sized offices, and cloud management means you do not need someone dedicated to security.
Who manages the firewall after installation?
It is up to you. JWeb can manage it in WatchGuard Cloud and handle the alerts, or your team manages it and we provide training and support.
Can staff work from home securely?
Yes. We set up the Firebox VPN for remote work and, with AuthPoint, every connection asks for a confirmation on the phone.
What is AuthPoint?
It is WatchGuard’s two-factor authentication. Besides the password, the person confirms the login on their phone, so a stolen password is not enough to get in.
Can I have guest Wi-Fi separate from the company network?
Yes. With WatchGuard access points, the guest network stays separate from the company network and is managed in the same console.
What happens if the internet goes down?
The Firebox keeps protecting the internal network, because the rules are stored on the device itself. With two internet connections, it can switch to the second one automatically.
What is the best firewall for a small business?
One that keeps up with your internet speed with all protection switched on, has up-to-date security licences and someone looking after it. For small and mid-sized offices we use WatchGuard desktop Firebox models and choose the model by the number of people and the internet connection.
Hardware or software firewall?
In an office, a hardware firewall (the Firebox) protects every device on the network, including printers and cameras. The Windows firewall only protects that one computer. The two complement each other.
Which Firebox model should I choose?
It depends on the number of people, the internet speed and the VPN connections. The desktop T Series models (T125, T145, T185) suit most small and mid-sized offices; for larger networks there is the M Series. We recommend the model in the quote.
How do I connect to the WatchGuard VPN from home?
With the WatchGuard Mobile VPN client installed on the computer and, if you have AuthPoint, the confirmation on your phone. We set it all up and, if you already have WatchGuard, we help get the VPN working.
Does WatchGuard help with NIS2 compliance?
It helps with the technical measures, such as the firewall, two-factor authentication and logs. NIS2 also requires risk management, training and incident reporting: see our cybersecurity for business page.
