What is a Firebox?

A WatchGuard Firebox is a specially designed and
optimized security appliance. Three independent net-
work interfaces allow you to separate your protected
office network from the Internet while providing an
optional public interface for hosting Web, email, or
FTP servers. Each network interface is independently
monitored and visually displayed on the front of the
Firebox.
