“We know today’s businesses grapple with sophisticated cyberattacks and an increasingly complex threat surface,” says WatchGuard team leader Rick Hanam. “We know security administrators must find ways to protect a rapidly expanding set of environments, users, and devices – often without the time, budget, or staff required to do so effectively. And we know simplicity is the key to delivering powerful, scalable protection. That’s where WatchGuard comes in.”
