Company IT and security teams are facing cybersecurity challenges that increasingly test their defensive capabilities. Organizations have to protect themselves from a growing number of incidents (one attack every 39 seconds, according to the University of Maryland) and sophisticated threats, many of which have serious consequences.
We are proud to announce that for the seventh year in a row, WatchGuard has been recognized at the IT World Awards for 2022, securing six wins across multiple categories.

Technology plays a fundamental role in the transformation process that companies have embraced in recent years. However, tech decision-makers have some reservations about adopting the latest technologies to avoid putting corporate security at risk. These are the findings of the Pulse survey of 150 technology leaders, in which 65% say they will avoid implementing AI, Hybrid Cloud, Edge Computing, 5G and Container Security because of the complexity required to implement them securely.
WatchGuard’s Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) has launched our public PSIRT page to provide a consolidated resource where network administrators can find advisories and information about security vulnerabilities in WatchGuard products, as well as WatchGuard’s investigations into industry-wide security issues that may impact our products or services.
Data privacy is a priority objective for businesses today, particularly after the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) became enforceable in 2018, as this law protects European citizens’ personal data and requires organizations to change some of their work processes.
Everything technology touches gets a digital makeover and the creative space wouldn’t be the exception. Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are virtual assets that represent objects influenced by art, music, games, and videos. You can only buy them online, likely with cryptocurrency. NFTs are generally encoded with the same underlying software as many cryptos. In fact, they are part of the Ethereum blockchain, a cryptocurrency, like bitcoin or dogecoin.
Cybersecurity is a complex task that is never complete. It’s an ongoing proactive practice of securing, monitoring, and mitigating threats. It’s a constant cycle where threats and vulnerabilities are detected, teams investigate and mitigate any issues, then network cybersecurity systems are reinforced to combat the next potential threat. Business operations increasingly rely on numerous devices and digital tools to accomplish daily tasks.
