WatchGuard a leader in Magic Quadrant Report for Unified Threat management

WatchGuard Technologies, the global leader of business security solutions achieved a milestone as Gartner, Inc. positioned WatchGuard in the Leaders Quadrant in the recent ‘Magic Quadrant for Unified Threat Management’ report.

For thousands of business around the world, WatchGuard multifunction firewalls are the trusted appliances to stop hackers, malware, spyware, viruses and all sorts of Web threats from reaching mission critical applications, networks and data.

Innovation is nothing new to WatchGuard and for this it has been the recipient of many prestigious awards.  This year alone, the company introduced Application Control – a revolutionary firewall service that allows administrators to restrict, manage and control thousands of applications; Reputation Enabled Defense – a cloud-based security service that eliminates web-based threats before they ever hit the network perimeter, and a host of advanced security, networking and management features.  That’s why so many businesses turn to WatchGuard in protecting their networks, applications and data.

Unlike other vendors that rely solely on stateful packet inspection, WatchGuard employs a “defense-in-depth” approach that utilizes deep packet inspection, stateful packet inspection and cutting edge proxy firewall technologies to provide unparalleled protection against next generation threats.

Adding to this, WatchGuard was the first vendor to introduce comprehensive VoIP proxy capabilities (both SIP and H.323 proxies) to defend against Internet voice threats, as well as HTTPS inspection, which tackles a myriad of web-related threats, and simultaneously gives administrators greater control and insight over encrypted web traffic that otherwise would be impossible to inspect.

WatchGuard definitely stands solid in offering the best, most reliable and affordable security solutions to business networks.
