We want to inform our valued partners and customers that the WatchGuard Firebox T85-PoE will officially reach its End-of-Sale (EOS) milestone on October 1, 2025.

The Firebox T85-PoE has been a trusted solution for delivering enterprise-grade security to small and distributed environments. As technology evolves, we remain committed to providing the most advanced and efficient security solutions to meet our customers' changing needs.

What This Means:

• After October 1, 2025, the Firebox T85-PoE will no longer be available for purchase. End-of-life (EOL) is scheduled for December 31, 2030
• Existing T85-PoE devices will continue to receive support, including firmware updates and technical assistance, through their lifecycle
• Renewals for active subscriptions and services will remain available until the EOL date

Recommended Next Steps 

We encourage customers currently using the T85-PoE to begin planning their migration to newer Firebox models. Our latest tabletop appliances offer enhanced performance, expanded capabilities, and future-ready security features.

For guidance on migration options or to explore the latest Firebox models, please contact your WatchGuard representative or authorized partner. The EOL page will be updated on October 1, 2025.

For a consistent, strong security posture, it’s more important than ever to quickly update all cybersecurity infrastructure with the latest firmware and up-to-date patches. Therefore, we recommend that you upgrade your Fireboxes now to apply the latest security fixes.  The following new versions are now available to download from the WatchGuard Software Downloads Center, WatchGuard Cloud, or the Firebox Web UI.  You should immediately update your Firebox appliance(s) to one of these versions or higher (if available):

• Fireware 2025.1.1
• Fireware v12.11.4
• Fireware v12.5.13
• Fireware v12.3.1 Update 3

This firmware includes a fix for a critical security flaw we discovered through our ongoing internal programs to test the security of our products. We have not seen any indication that this vulnerability has been exploited. After discovery and validation, WatchGuard filed CVE-2025-9242 according to our responsible disclosure process and we have issued WatchGuard Security Advisory WGSA-2025-0015 and posted it to our PSIRT page. 

At WatchGuard, we embrace a responsible disclosure process as essential to keeping customers knowledgeable about the cybersecurity products they use. In circumstances when the vulnerability is unexploited, and when certain details could speed exploitation attempts, we may delay including them in the security advisory to reduce exposure and protect our customers. After a reasonable time to apply patches with upgraded firmware, we will then add indicators of attack (IoAs) and additional information.
