Create fast and easy VPN connections from anywhere to WatchGuard XTM firewall appliances. WatchGuard Mobile VPN enables the creation of a mobile virtual private network (VPN) connection via IPSec or L2TP. Your system administrator sets up the VPN at the WatchGuard firewall, exports profile settings to a file, which is then distributed via email to end users.
When the Mobile VPN application is installed users can simply click on the file attached to an email from your administrator to apply the VPN profile to their iOS device. Users connect via the iOS VPN and an encrypted tunnel is created, which secures data traffic from an iOS device to the corporate network and other behind-the-firewall resources. Firewall policies and protections are applied to VPN connections, which means WatchGuard customers with iOS devices will gain the benefits of gateway anti-virus, intrusion prevention and other security services to keep out hackers, spyware, malware and more.
WatchGuards line of extensible threat management (XTM) security solutions consolidates essential security functions, such as stateful packet firewall, VPN, anti-spam, anti-spyware, anti-virus, content filtering and intrusion prevention in one easy to manage appliance.
