WatchGuard Technologies has announced that Gartner has positioned WatchGuard in the Leaders Quadrant in the most recent "Magic Quadrant for Unified Threat Management" report.
"WatchGuard is pleased to be recognized by Gartner for having industry-leading unified threat management solutions," said Mohit Puri, Country Manager, India & SAARC, WatchGuard Technologies. "For thousands of businesses 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."
This year, 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.
In addition 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.
