WatchGuard Technologies unveiiled a zero-install, public and
private cloud-ready network security visibility solution. WatchGuard
Dimension will come standard with the company's flagship Unified
Threat Management (UTM) platform and offers a suite of
visibility and reporting tools that instantly isolates and distills
actionable security issues and trends, speeding network
professionals' ability to set meaningful security policies.
"Around the world, network security pros tell us they are
drowning in logs of data and find it time consuming – or nearly
impossible – to identify key issues on their networks and make
proper policy decisions," said Dave R. Taylor, vice president of
corporate and product strategy at WatchGuard Technologies. "In a
recent report from the SANS Institute,* only 10 percent of
respondents felt confident in their organizations ability to analyze
large data sets for security trends, even though 77 percent are
collecting logs and monitoring data from systems and security
devices. WatchGuard Dimension solves this challenge by instantly
turning raw network data into actionable security intelligence in the
big data visualization style today's users have come to expect."
Customers agree WatchGuard Dimension simplifies security
management. "The nature of a UTM already ensures you have an
integrated, multi-function security platform with the nimbleness
needed to keep up with everything from cybercrime to compliance
issues," Dicar Networks President Armando Garcia said.
"WatchGuard Dimension takes that to the next level. It's up and
running in a few clicks. Plus, it's so easy to use and understand, it
helps take our customers from focusing on the 'how' of what they need
to do, to the 'why' of what they need to do to address security
issues on their networks."
WatchGuard Dimension offers users a menu of visibility and
reporting options to present the information in the way they find
most intuitive: Executive Dashboard, Hierarchical TreeMap and
Global ThreatMap.
For Managed Security Solution Providers, the Executive Reporting
function in particular is a key feature. "Our customers trust
eMazzanti Technologies to secure their networks and feel confident in
the quality of the protection they receive," eMazzanti
Technologies CEO Carl Mazzanti said. "With WatchGuard
Dimension's Executive Reports, it's easy for my firm to provide
automated reports that make it simple for customers to see and
understand how we're protecting their interests. Further, because our
mutual offering is cloud based, we have easy and secure access on any
device, anywhere to serve the breadth of our client base."
WatchGuard Dimension is now available with WatchGuard's 11.8
launch of its XTM security platform. Other major highlights include
the addition of WatchGuard Data Loss Prevention to the platform, an
updated Web User Interface compatible with mobile devices, and
tremendous new flexibility in the configuration of VPNs in today's
more complex network environments.
