What Campaigns Like Grandoreiro Teach Us About Threat Detection

The recent Grandoreiro campaign detected by the WatchGuard Threat Lab team is a clear example of how today’s threats combine different techniques to make detection more difficult and operate more discreetly.

AI Isn't Creating New Cyberattacks. It's Changing How They Operate

Artificial Intelligence has quickly become one of the most important conversations in cybersecurity.

Uncovering Shadow AI Before It Becomes Your Biggest Risk | WatchGuard Technologies Webinar Series

Your employees have already adopted AI. The question is whether your organization knows where, how, and with which data.

Even organizations with mature AI strategies are discovering that sanctioned AI is only part of the story.
