WatchGuard Managed Security Services Program

WatchGuard Technologies has launched the WatchGuard Managed Security Services Program (MSSP) that allows users to reduce IT operation costs while increasing network, application and data protection.

The program has remote management security features integrated into the company’s Fireware XTM-based multifunction security appliances, allowing its partners to proactively manage, monitor and mitigate security risks for thousands of users regardless of their location.

Additionally, WatchGuard security services can be changed to meet a business need or environment, eg, MSSP channel partners can provide any combination of advanced firewall, intrusion prevention, secure virtual private networking for remote workers, web blocking and URL filtering services, spam protection and antivirus. This allows partners to build on and provide additional services, such as event monitoring, penetration testing, compliance management for PCI DSS, HIPAA, Sarbanes Oxley or other related requirements for the protection of information under the Privacy Act of Australia.
