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.

    WatchGuard - the best firewall and the best company for the win

    Date: Mar 25 2022
    Summary

    If you need a firewall system that is fast, reliable and reasonably priced you won't find anything better than WatchGuard. If you need great support and and a product that you will have no trouble configuring, you're money is well-spent on WatchGuard. There is zero-comprise with their products and they absolutely are the best firewalls I have ever used.

    Positive

    I don't know where to start. I have over 20 years of experience with Cisco, Juniper and Palo Alto firewalls. All are great in one way or another but have something that goes against them (complexity, cost or speed are the most obvious that come to mind). Along came WatchGuard and seriously their hardware checks every box! They are super fast and don't bog down for anything. They are by far the easiest to configure while lacking NOTHING in features. The most amazing thing though is their pricing which is the lowest of the bunch by far. Oh and 24/7 domestic support which has proven to be exceptional.

    Negative

    Honestly none. Seriously, none. Any roadblocks I have hit have been handled promptly by their tech support.
