Complexity is the enemy of security, and many businesses find that security takes up a disproportionate amount of their IT team’s time. Managed service providers are increasingly filling the security gap allowing their clients to stay safe, while letting them focus on their digital transformation goals. For MSPs transitioning from an IT support services practice, to one that delivers cybersecurity and risk management can be a boon– but it is not without challenges. Finding a platform that provides the security your customers demand, and the simplicity that empowers your team to do more in less time, can go a long way to ensuring your success.
Introducing WatchGuard Firebox Policy Management in WatchGuard Cloud
WatchGuard Cloud consolidates the management of network security, multi-factor authentication, and threat intelligence to an easy-to-learn Cloud platform. Our goal with WatchGuard Cloud has always been to build a powerful, cloud-hosted security platform that directly supports the way MSPs do business, and our latest release takes WatchGuard Firebox management to a new level.
Designed for operational efficiency, policy creation and VPN deployment are a breeze with WatchGuard Cloud. Create policy templates for easy and repeatable deployment across many clients.
