WatchGuard FireCloud Total Access
Description
Description
The WatchGuard FireCloud Total Access is a cloud-delivered hybrid SASE and Zero Trust security service that protects remote and hybrid workers from Internet-based threats while giving them identity-based access to SaaS, cloud and private applications. It unifies Secure Web Gateway (SWG), Firewall as a Service (FWaaS) and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) in a single platform managed through WatchGuard Cloud.
Part of WatchGuard's Unified Security Platform, FireCloud Total Access is delivered through a single security agent and integrates with WatchGuard's network defence, endpoint protection and multi-factor authentication services. It is designed as a remote user VPN replacement, removing the complexity of traditional VPNs while giving IT administrators centralised visibility and consistent policy enforcement for every user and device.

FAQs
What is the difference between FireCloud Internet Access and Total Access?
FireCloud Internet Access protects remote workers against Internet-based security threats, while FireCloud Total Access also lets users reach local resources on the company network without a VPN.
Do I need an identity provider?
Yes. To use Zero Trust with FireCloud you must configure the WatchGuard Cloud Directory as your identity provider or set up AuthPoint as a SAML identity provider.
How do users connect to FireCloud?
Users must have the WatchGuard Connection Manager installed on their device and use it to connect. Internet traffic is then routed through the nearest WatchGuard point of presence for scanning.
How does private resource access work?
You install a FireCloud Gateway on your network, or use an existing Firebox as a Gateway, and then configure a private resource for each item you want remote users to reach, such as a printer or SMB share.
Can the Connection Manager be installed on Windows servers?
No. The WatchGuard Connection Manager does not support Windows servers or computers that use ARM processors.
