Black Friday: How to Protect Your Retail Clients from Ransomware

Black Friday is one of the most demanding seasons for the retail sector. Massive spikes in online traffic, aggressive promotions, and pressure to keep services available significantly increase the risk of an attack. Cybercriminals are aware of this and exploit the saturation to launch ransomware campaigns, phishing attempts, and supply chain attacks that aim to disrupt operations, steal sensitive data, and cause maximum impact.

How Computer Security Has Evolved and What You Can Do Now

You may not often think about how far computer security has come over the last 30 years; the evolution is remarkable. Early attacks, such as viruses, passed around on floppy disks, worms spreading for notoriety, and hacktivism done for a cause felt more punk rock than organized crime. Today, according to Canalys, ransomware is the top concern for small businesses. But will it stay that way?

The Efficiency Shift: How AI Turns Noise into Clarity

Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere in cybersecurity marketing. Real AI is not about detecting more. It is about making decisions faster and more precisely, so that humans can spend their time on what truly matters. Endpoint security efficiency is the ability to deliver maximum protection with minimum operational effort, turning noise into clarity and alerts into meaningful incidents. AI is the engine that makes this possible.

OWASP Top 10 2025 Edition - The 443 Podcast - Episode 350

This week on the podcast, we cover OWASP’s update to the top 10 web application security weaknesses and its changes from the 2021 list. We also cover a recently uncovered adversary-in-the-middle campaign that’s pushing malicious software updates to targeted systems. We conclude with our opinions on Microsoft’s latest AI features, which are coming to Windows.

The Evolution of Zero Trust: Toward More Tangible Cybersecurity

It seems as though we’ve been talking about the zero trust model for years. Although it isn’t a new concept, only now has it really managed to transition from theory to practice. This cybersecurity framework ‒ based on implicit distrust ‒ used to seem somewhat abstract, more like a strategic idea than an actual strategy. Today, however, we’re witnessing a paradigm shift that’s making it possible to implement zero trust effectively.

2025 Security Predictions Recap - The 443 Podcast - Episode 349

This week on the podcast, we review our 2025 security predictions and grade ourselves on our accuracy. We recap all 6 predictions for 2025 from multi-modal AI being used to create entire attack chains to the CISO role becoming the least desirable role in business, and follow up on this year's news to see if they hit or not.

The Efficiency Shift: From Alerts to Incidents

In every security operation, time and clarity are the most limited resources. Analysts do not fail because they lack alerts; they fail because they are forced to connect dots that never form a complete picture. When visibility is fragmented, every alert appears urgent, and priorities become blurred. This is where the idea of endpoint security efficiency becomes transformative.

The VPN Trap: Why Remote Access Is Failing You

VPNs were once the cornerstone of secure remote access. Today, they've become one of the easiest ways for attackers to slip inside your network. Outdated VPN tunnels facilitate credential theft, lateral movement, and data exfiltration, leaving IT teams confused and businesses vulnerable. In this session, WatchGuard experts will uncover the hidden risks of SSL VPNs and explain how a zero trust approach can eliminate those weaknesses. Learn how to deliver faster, safer, and simpler access for every user, without the overhead and risk of remote user VPNs.

The Efficiency Shift: Endpoint Efficiency Over Alert Volume

For years, the cybersecurity industry has celebrated “more detections” as proof of effectiveness. Dashboards filled with alerts were seen as signs of vigilance and control. But in practice, the opposite is true: too many alerts create noise, fatigue, and blind spots that delay real responses. When analysts are buried under a flood of low-value detections, the attacker always moves faster.

A Smarter, Stronger Approach to Incident Response in WatchGuard MDR

Most IT teams face the same challenge: threats don’t stop when the workday ends. Alerts come in after hours, resources are stretched thin, and a single missed response can turn into a costly incident. Partners who deliver managed services often feel that pressure even more, balancing multiple customers and security tools while trying to prove value every day.

One Platform. One Agent. One Giant Leap for MSP Efficiency.

Managing security shouldn’t mean juggling a dozen tools, agents, and spreadsheets. WatchGuard is cutting through the noise with two major updates designed to give managed service providers (MSPs) the simplicity and control they’ve been asking for: expanded PSA integrations and the new WatchGuard Agent.
