WatchGuard Technologies has launched a new small business security appliance, the WatchGuard XTM 330. Targeted at businesses with 30 to 50 users, it provides advanced network protection in an all-in-one rack-mount gateway security appliance.

"Small businesses are increasingly becoming targets of hackers and sophisticated cyber attacks," said Tim Helming, Director of Product Management at WatchGuard Technologies. "Now businesses with [up to] 50 employees can have the same type of security and protection that Fortune 1000 enterprises, financial institutions and government agencies use to keep out spyware, malware and other web threats."

According to a company release, the WatchGuard XTM 330 provides complete network security protection against today's threats. The XTM 330 sports the latest security services from WatchGuard to meet any number of business needs. In addition to next-generation firewall and intrusion prevention capabilities, customers can choose to add Application Control, Gateway Anti-virus, WebBlocker, spamBlocker and WatchGuard's context-aware, cloud-based security service, Reputation Enabled Defense.
