| VPN Firewall Why Do I Need a VPN Firewall? The Watchguard VPN (Virtual Private Network) firewall will provide you with your first level of protection for your network. This is the point at which an intruder could gain access to your company. Many companies have either no VPN firewall solution or a very poorly configured one. A VPN firewall is a complex piece of hardware and needs professional staff to configure, as the consequences from poor configurations can be grave. To ensure that your VPN firewall security is configured to achieve maximum defence without hindering your users, you should ensure that the company which you are using is security focused and have gained qualifications in the relevant technologies.
