What is WatchGuard Network Security?

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.

What is VMware vDefend Distributed Firewall?

To mitigate the lateral movement of threats in multi-cloud environments, it is essential to deploy a software-based Layer 7 firewall at every workload location. As cybercriminals traverse your infrastructure and ransomware tactics become increasingly sophisticated, the management of east-west traffic has become a significant concern. Utilizing a software-defined Layer 7 firewall enables precise enforcement at scale, effectively safeguarding east-west traffic within today’s multi-cloud ecosystem. This approach simplifies network segmentation, preventing the lateral propagation of threats while supporting swift and secure development as you move towards a Zero Trust framework. Additionally, it provides extensive visibility across all traffic flows, allowing for meticulous micro-segmentation and the creation of context-sensitive policies tailored to each workload. By incorporating a modern, distributed firewall solution specifically aimed at securing multi-cloud traffic across virtual environments, you will greatly reduce the attack surface and strengthen defenses against both existing and emerging threats. Ultimately, this forward-thinking strategy not only enhances your overall security posture but also guarantees a resilient and adaptable infrastructure in the face of an ever-evolving threat landscape. Furthermore, continuous monitoring and adaptation will be necessary to keep pace with new vulnerabilities and attack vectors as they arise.
