How to Migrate from a Traditional Firewall to a Next-Generation Firewall

The evolution of cyber threats is rendering many traditional firewalls obsolete as they are no longer capable of delivering the visibility and protection required in today’s environments. According to WatchGuard's Internet Security Report, network detected malware increased by 15% in the second quarter of 2025, a clear sign that legacy perimeter security solutions are no longer sufficient. Despite this reality, many companies continue to rely on outdated firewalls and hardware.

RIP mVPN: Why ZTNA Is the Future of Secure Access for SMBs

Once upon a time, the managed VPN (mVPN) was the hero of remote work. Employees worked from the office, servers lived in cupboards, and if you could gain access to the network, you were trusted. Fast forward to today, and that hero has not aged well. Hybrid work is permanent. Cloud apps rule. Attackers are smarter, faster, and annoyingly persistent. SMB IT teams are expected to hold it all together with limited time, limited budget, and zero tolerance for downtime.

ChatGPT Oopsies Series of Information - The 443 Podcast - Episode 356

This week on the podcast, we cover a Politico report detailing a security lapse at CISA in the United States involving sensitive data and a public version of ChatGPT. Next, we dive into a couple of recently resolved vulnerabilities in the SolarWinds Web Help Desk application. Finally, we end with some closure on a story about two Coalfire penetration testers who were arrested several years ago for completing a penetration test in Iowa.

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.

Proud to be Data Privacy Week 2026 Champions with the National Cybersecurity Alliance

We are proud to be Data Privacy Week 2026 Champions with the National Cybersecurity Alliance. Stay tuned all week as we share practical tips, real-world insights, and expert perspectives from our teams and special guests across WatchGuard Tech All-Stars.

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.
