WatchGuard Network Security vs. Securd DNS Firewall

Our solutions provide your security systems with unmatched, all-encompassing visibility into your network infrastructure. This feature is vital for navigating the increasing speed and complexity of networks, while also furnishing you with the insights needed to promptly detect and mitigate breaches, facilitating rapid recovery. By integrating Network Critical solutions, you can improve the efficiency of your existing security system, thus maximizing your return on investment. It is important to note that SPAN ports have been traditionally viewed as insufficient for network security. Cybercriminals can easily infiltrate routers, switches, and entire networks without detection, highlighting a significant weakness in this strategy. Moreover, SPAN ports do not offer real-time data, which further compromises your network's defenses. On the other hand, Network TAPs function as a transparent gateway, enabling you to monitor data in real-time without any modifications. This critical distinction plays a key role in sustaining a strong security posture against emerging threats. As businesses increasingly depend on real-time analytics, the benefits of utilizing Network TAPs rather than SPAN are becoming ever more apparent, emphasizing the need for organizations to rethink their network security strategies.

To maintain the security and accessibility of the Internet for users across the globe, our anycast DNS firewall and DNS resolver provide exceptionally quick resolution times of just 10ms, alongside robust protection against real-time threats through a zero-trust strategy designed to reduce the attack surface at the network's perimeter. As cyber threats such as modern malware, ransomware, and phishing schemes rapidly advance, conventional antivirus solutions frequently fall short in providing adequate protection. Therefore, it is vital to implement a comprehensive, multi-layered defense strategy to effectively protect your critical assets from these persistent threats. By utilizing DNS filtering, organizations can significantly decrease the chances of a successful cyberattack, as it blocks access to malicious domains, prevents downloads from infected sites, and stops malware from siphoning off sensitive data. Furthermore, DNS firewalls deliver valuable real-time and historical data regarding DNS queries and resolutions, which are essential for quickly detecting and mitigating the impact of infected or compromised devices. The Securd DNS Firewall is supported by a worldwide anycast network, ensuring that users receive efficient and thorough protection wherever they are located. This proactive cybersecurity approach not only bolsters user safety but also strengthens your organization's defenses against a constantly evolving threat landscape while fostering a safer online environment for everyone. Ultimately, safeguarding your digital assets requires ongoing vigilance and the adoption of advanced security measures.
