Hybrid work, cloud apps, and constant connectivity have completely reshaped how people get things done. But they've also reshaped how attackers operate. Today, most breaches begin with fundamental issues: stolen credentials, compromised devices, or remote access tools that weren't designed for a world of distributed users. That's why WatchGuard is introducing the Zero Trust Bundle, a unified approach that secures people, devices, and access decisions every time someone connects to your business.

If you’re a SonicWall partner, chances are 2025 tested your patience, and your margins. Between high-profile breaches, unexpected price increases, and strategic pivots that created more confusion than clarity, many partners were left absorbing the fallout while working harder for less return. As the security landscape continues to evolve, partners deserve a platform that simplifies operations, protects customers, and supports sustainable growth.

A few years ago, an IP address was enough to identify users online ‒ almost like a physical address that indicated where they were located. Today, however, users no longer rely on a single device or location, making it far more difficult for organizations to recognize who is accessing their systems, from where, and with what level of risk.

Over the years, corporate digital infrastructure has grown in terms of both complexity and scale. As a result, cybersecurity has become increasingly critical within organizations. However, despite this reality, it’s often basic mistakes that leave companies exposed. That’s why it’s always good practice to go back to the fundamentals.

When we think about airport security, we often picture the multiple measures they have in place every day. But imagine that management decided to adopt a single-layer strategy: relying only on metal detectors (network security) and removing X-ray scanners (endpoint security).

Every year, security teams and MSPs look to the MITRE ATT&CK Evaluations for one thing: clarity. Not marketing, but a transparent view of how endpoint products behave under real adversary tactics. MITRE ATT&CK Evaluations Enterprise Round 7 (MITRE ER7) is no exception. In the Windows “Hermes” scenario, modeled after Mustang Panda activity, the data shows how WatchGuard delivers strong, reliable protection with lower operational burden for security teams and MSPs.

We’re thrilled to announce that WatchGuard ThreatSync+ NDR has been named Winner Overall – Security: Network in CRN’s 2025 Products of the Year. This honor highlights not only the strength of the solution itself, but also how it aligns with, and accelerates, the major innovations shaping network security this year.

A few weeks ago, a cyberattack shut down operations at the Japanese brewery Asahi, disrupting its supply chain and affecting product availability across the country. Incidents like these often take advantage of the complexity of distributed infrastructures, where insufficient segmentation between OT (Operational Technology) and IT (Information Technology) environments lets threats spread laterally uncontrolled.
