WatchGuard make the information security in the big Data age "no compromise"

In the first quarter of 2013, WatchGuard continued to receive a number of global information security awards, including the Three Global Excellence Award for the Information Security Product guide, and four years of continuous five-star reviews of SC Magazine, as the global leader in business security solutions. WatchGuard, with its innovative security management in the Byod field and the security features of WatchGuard XTM's more cloud computing and virtualization services, provides a powerful support for enterprise users to maintain business continuity and convenience in a large data age.

In the data Center architecture and terminal access mode, users are actively preparing for the arrival of the large data age. As a new service model, supporting the large data business to carry out the IT infrastructure has changed, the business from a single computer into the network, the data center of the equipment from the dedicated to virtual, terminal from fixed to the shadow, more large data in the situation of security management becomes difficult to control the problem. One urgent need for us to face the reality is that in the cloud computing and mobile interconnection for the mainstream of the collaborative approach to change the world, and the traditional network layer of security equipment products have long been unable to meet it to the business level of security protection. As the pioneer of the world's first hardware firewall, a global leader who threatens to manage the market, WatchGuard recommends that companies focus their security defenses on those new business aspects, because many users ' virtualization and BYOD environments do not have the ability to confront hackers.

In the case of virtualization security, while it can bring considerable benefits to managers, migrating servers to a security defense system provides more scope for cyber-criminals. Obviously, access between virtual servers is not quarantined and monitored, and hackers exploiting these security protection "blind spots" for attacks and unauthorized access will be less likely to be discovered. At the same time, some malware can be a simple algorithm to detect whether the attacked host is running in a virtualized environment, once the attacker discovers the virtual machine will be more intensified.

In order to fully support the operation of the cloud platform, WatchGuard has launched XTMV and Xcsv to meet the needs of the virtualization of small and medium-sized enterprises, large enterprises and distributed environment. These virtual XTMV provide a high level of data security and host network protection, with the same functionality as the hardware XTM series, including application control, reputation cloud protection, intrusion prevention, gateway Antivirus, web filtering, and traffic shaping. Multiple virtual instances of XTMV can be run within a virtual machine environment, capable of controlling internal traffic between virtual infrastructure devices and even internal data traffic between virtual hosts running on the same host and cluster. Thus, this WatchGuard virtualization device is the ideal security management solution for managing Security Service Providers (Mssps), host service providers, and businesses that want to use separate firewall requirements within a single host system. In addition, after deploying Xcsv in the same virtualization framework, all traffic from the public network can be isolated, with a more real-time and rigorous implementation of content filtering, information protection, message content, and Web content security detection.

In response to BYOD's "subversive" security management challenges, many companies are struggling with BYOD's cumbersome deployment and management patterns, hoping to find a management strategy that is sufficient to ensure mobile security, because high cost security maintenance makes them miserable. In March 2013, WatchGuard officially released AP products and integrated security solutions, integrating traditional wireless network controller AC with WatchGuard scalable next-generation firewall XTM series, allowing managers to maintain the security of BYOD environments in a simpler way. WatchGuard The traditional routing, VPN, firewall, IPS, anti-virus, application control, wireless control AC and even log management functions are concentrated in the XTM products, through the powerful Easy-to-use WatchGuard management console, whether AP, AC or other security features, Can do correlation analysis and policy unified scheduling.

In the context of the large data age, relying on a large number of single functional products to form the so-called "overall security solution", whether from the network efficiency, management control, strategy configuration, or overall cost of ownership, system reliability, energy saving and environmental protection, are not an ideal choice, more like a technical imperfect "compromise" , not only can not play an effective security protection, but the entire security system "cumbersome" complex. WatchGuard since its inception in 1996, has been the most advanced technology known in the Global Network security field. Now, WatchGuard hope to new products and technology, so that the enterprise's safety protection system lightweight, simplistic, to help users sweep past the haze, in the face of security threats "no longer compromise."
