Why Choose WatchGuard?

Value and Performance.

WatchGuard XTM solutions offer reliable, all-in-one security at an attractive price point. In a tough economy, it's the smart way to decrease IT costs while increasing network protection with integrated security components. And the value goes beyond the lower acquisition costs.

  • Lower management and support costs – manage one multi-function box instead of numerous single-point products from an intuitive, centralized console.
  • Lower upgrade and replacement costs – WatchGuards unique license-key upgrades mean you don't have to replace your hardware every time you need to increase capacity, performance, or security capabilities.
  • Lower energy costs – amp draw is 70% lower than industry average.
  • Meet compliance regulations – with tools that give you unprecedented visibility into network security activity as well as the information you need to prove regulatory compliance.

In-Depth Customised Security.

WatchGuards unique "Layer 7" content inspection technology combines with fully integrated security subscriptions for complete network protection.

  • Unlike other security products that only look at the first four layers of data communication, WatchGuards solutions thoroughly inspect all seven layers of the OSI stack.
  • WatchGuards architecture offers all-in-one security, but also provides the option of "turning on" or "turning off" types of protection and features as needed for fully extensible threat management.
