Why WatchGuard?
Four Reasons to Buy WatchGuard

True Zero Day Protection

WatchGuard offers true zero day protection right out of the box through an intelligent layered security architecture.

Others rely on signature-based protection, a reactive way to provide security that leaves networks exposed to new threats until a signature is developed and deployed.

Powerful Application Proxy vs. Packet Filter Inspection

WatchGuard application proxy technology inspects all seven layers of data communication (see OSI model below) to instantly block offending data from each layer for far greater protection.

Packet filter technology inspects only four data communication layers, leaving three layers of data communication that are NOT inspected.
