Security Simplified: Endpoint Protection Made for Everyone

Attackers continue to move faster, automate more aggressively, and operate with greater precision at the endpoint. Detection alone is no longer enough. Security teams need clarity, context, and the ability to act decisively as threats unfold. Yet many endpoint approaches still rely heavily on manual investigation and response workflows that require human intervention. The result is alert overload, delayed response, increased operational effort, and growing pressure on already-stretched security teams.

Zero Trust for Data Privacy: The Backbone of Modern Cybersecurity

Data privacy used to be the realm of hospitals, banks, and fervent devotees of the Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution. Something we knew we wanted but conceptually assumed wouldn’t affect most people. Our dependence on the Internet for almost all aspects of daily life has changed that. In 2026, data privacy and cybersecurity are deeply intertwined. Protecting sensitive information isn’t just about stopping hackers.

The SMB Paradox: Most Targeted, Least Prepared for Cybersecurity

For years, the prevailing myth among small and midsize businesses (SMBs) was that they were too small to be a target. That myth has been definitively shattered. The reality is sobering: SMBs now account for a disproportionate share of cyber incidents and data exposure. In fact, research cited in the Guardz 2025 SMB Cybersecurity Report found that 43% of U.S. SMBs have experienced a cyberattack, including 27% hit within the past year.

Data Privacy: How Organizations Protect the Workplace From AI Threats

Data privacy in the workplace is not just compliance. It is how an organization protects employees, builds trust, and reduces business risk. Employees handle most workplace data, which makes them a major target for AI-powered threats like deepfakes and business email compromise (BEC). The best way to protect data is a mix of practical employee habits, realistic training, and strong controls like least privilege access, MFA, monitoring, and email authentication.

Zero Trust for Mid-Market: Why Modern IT Security Assumes Attacks Will Succeed

Guest post by WatchGuard Tech All-Star, Marko Bauer It's Monday morning, 7:30 AM. Your employees arrive at the office and can't log in. Systems are dead. Your phone rings. IT reports: Ransomware. All data encrypted. Then the email: €500,000 ransom. In 48 hours, the attackers will begin publishing customer data, contracts, and internal documents on the dark web. The first dump is already online, as “proof.” Your company is paralyzed. Production can't work. Sales has no access to orders.

From Alerts to Action: Automating Your MSP Security

As MSPs push for higher margins and tighter security outcomes, disconnected PSA, RMM, and security tools create noise, manual work, and missed opportunities. Deep, practical integrations are now the difference between a scalable managed security practice and an overloaded team. In this webinar, WatchGuard will show how our integrations with ConnectWise and Autotask help you.

You Don't Need 20 Different Perimeters. You Need One Identity Fabric.

Guest post by WatchGuard Tech All-Star, Michael Carter II At a glance: The trend is hard to ignore: most attackers do not “break in” anymore; they sign in using stolen or abused identities, not by bypassing a next-gen firewall, your EDR, or those fancy email and collaboration tool defenses. If an unauthorized identity can export it, you have not protected it, no matter how many controls you have in place.

Effective Response: A Key Factor in Your Reputation as an MSP

In cybersecurity, incidents test more than just technical resilience ‒ they also test trust. As a managed service provider (MSP), the preventive measures you implement are critical. However, the strength of your support during your clients’ most critical times is what truly defines the trust they have in you. A cybersecurity incident may be precisely the moment when your client evaluates whether you are delivering on your promises as a quality partner for their business.

Decoding MITRE ER7: How to Interpret Results That Matter

MITRE ATT&CK Evaluations attract strong attention across the cybersecurity industry by providing detailed, transparent data on how endpoint security solutions behave under real attack conditions. However, the depth of the results often makes them difficult to interpret and compare meaningfully. Join Field CTO Adam Winston as he decodes WatchGuard’s MITRE ER7 results and learn how to weigh key metrics to determine real-world security effectiveness and efficiency.

Switch from SonicWall and Succeed

If you use SonicWall, you know what type of year 2025 was for your business. Between breaches, price increases, and confusing pivots, your vendor left you to clean up their mess while you paid more for their product and earned less in return. Join Adam Winston, Field CTO at WatchGuard Technologies, to learn why our Unified Security Platform is the right choice for a profitable, worry-free 2026. In this session, we’ll discuss.

MITRE ER7 Explained: From Detection to Operational Efficiency

MITRE ATT&CK ER7 results are often reduced to simple headlines: detection percentages, prevention rates, or “100% coverage” claims. But those numbers alone don’t explain how a security platform actually behaves when an attack unfolds, nor how much operational effort is required to manage it. To understand the real impact of ER7 results, you need to look at detection efficiency and operational efficiency, not just raw coverage.

Introducing an MDR Service that Enhances Your Current Security Tools

Most organizations already get solid protection from the security tools they use, but integrating a mix of those tools into a complete, well-coordinated defense remains challenging. Teams are stretched thin, threats move fast, and it takes time and expertise to monitor everything around the clock and respond the moment something looks suspicious. This is where an open approach to MDR helps meet partners and customers where they are.

Is Prevention the New Pillar of Cybersecurity?

For a long time, cybersecurity has been built around two basic actions: detecting and responding to cyber threats. However, automated attacks, advanced malware, and AI-driven threats show that reacting is no longer enough. Today’s attacks move fast, and in most cases, the damage is already done by the time they are detected. This is nothing new: organizations need to get ahead of risk and protect their systems before incidents occur.

Security Simplified: Endpoint Protection Made for Everyone

Endpoint threats are evolving faster than ever - more automated, more precise, and harder to stop with detection alone. Today’s security teams need more than alerts; they need clarity, context, and the ability to respond in real time without adding complexity or operational strain. On January 29, 2026, at 8am PST (4pm GMT), join WatchGuard and GigaOm for an educational webinar that cuts through the noise around endpoint security.

Strengthening Security with Up-To-Date Firewalls: A Guide for MSPs

Network devices that reach their End of Life (EOL) represent a significant risk that many organizations overlook. Beyond the lack of vendor support, they can become open doors for increasingly sophisticated attacks. A recent analysis by CSO reveals that two out of three security breaches originate from outdated firewalls and network devices -‒ with unpatched firmware and vulnerabilities that attackers know inside out.

From Chaos to Clarity: How to Optimize Endpoint Security

As an MSP security team today, you’re constantly running a rat race. You’re juggling multiple tools, sifting through a constant stream of alerts, and working in diverse environments to ensure you keep every endpoint protected. Fragmented solutions and limited automation exacerbate operational challenges, particularly as threats continue to evolve and become increasingly difficult to identify.
