Firewalls in UAE

Buy Firewalls in UAE – Business & Next-Generation Firewalls

Buy business firewalls in the UAE for small offices, branch locations, growing companies and enterprise networks.

Empeller Systems supplies network firewalls and next-generation firewall (NGFW) appliances in Dubai and across the UAE, with options for different network sizes and security requirements.

A firewall sits between your network and outside traffic, helping control what is allowed in and out. Modern business firewalls can go much further, with features such as intrusion prevention, application control, web filtering, VPN, SD-WAN and advanced threat protection.

The important part is choosing a firewall that can handle your actual network traffic and security services, not simply choosing by model number.

Choosing the Right Firewall for Your Business

Small Business / Branch Office

A smaller firewall can be suitable for an office, shop, clinic, branch location or other small network.

Models such as the FortiGate 40F, 60F and 70F are designed for smaller deployments and can provide firewall, VPN and next-generation security features in compact appliances.

Before choosing one, check the number of users, internet connection speed, VPN requirements and which security services you plan to enable.

Medium Business

Growing businesses usually have more users, more devices, faster internet connections and heavier use of cloud applications and VPNs.

Firewalls such as the FortiGate 100F and 120G provide considerably more capacity for these environments.

For example, the FortiGate 120G is rated for 5.3 Gbps IPS throughput, 3.1 Gbps NGFW throughput and 2.8 Gbps threat protection throughput.

The exact model you need still depends on your real traffic and enabled security features.

Enterprise / Data Center

Large businesses and data centres may need to handle millions of sessions, high-speed network connections, many VPN users and large amounts of inspected traffic.

Higher-capacity firewalls such as the FortiGate 200G, 600F and 900G are designed for these heavier environments.

Enterprise buyers should also consider interface speeds, redundancy, high availability and future network growth when selecting a firewall.

Firewall Performance & Sizing

Don’t choose a business firewall based only on its maximum firewall throughput.

Several specifications matter:

• Firewall throughput: The amount of basic traffic the firewall can process.
• Threat protection throughput: A more useful figure when security services are enabled. This can be much lower than basic firewall throughput.
• Concurrent sessions: How many active network connections the appliance can maintain at the same time.
• VPN performance: Important if employees, offices or sites connect through IPsec or other VPN services.
• Number of users and devices: More users usually mean more sessions and traffic, but user count alone is not enough for accurate sizing.

You should also consider your internet speed, expected growth, applications, number of sites and whether you plan to use features such as IPS, SSL inspection and web filtering.

It is usually better to leave some performance headroom rather than buying a firewall that is already close to its limit.

Next-Generation Firewall Features

A next-generation firewall (NGFW) combines traditional firewall functions with additional network security and visibility.

Depending on the firewall and security subscription, features can include:

Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)

IPS helps identify and block known malicious activity and attempts to exploit vulnerabilities.

Application Control

Application control helps identify applications using your network and allows administrators to create rules around how they can be used.

Web Filtering

Web filtering can help businesses control access to websites and block known malicious or unwanted web content.

VPN

VPN capabilities can securely connect remote employees, offices and other locations to the business network.

SD-WAN

Supported firewalls can use SD-WAN to manage multiple network connections and intelligently direct traffic based on business and performance requirements.

Threat Protection

Modern NGFW platforms can combine several security services to inspect network traffic and help identify malware, attacks and other threats.

The available features can depend on the firewall model, software version and security subscription, so check what is included before purchasing.
