Network devices that reach their End of Life (EOL) represent a significant risk that many organizations overlook. Beyond the lack of vendor support, they can become open doors for increasingly sophisticated attacks. A recent analysis by CSO reveals that two out of three security breaches originate from outdated firewalls and network devices -‒ with unpatched firmware and vulnerabilities that attackers know inside out.

As an MSP security team today, you’re constantly running a rat race. You’re juggling multiple tools, sifting through a constant stream of alerts, and working in diverse environments to ensure you keep every endpoint protected. Fragmented solutions and limited automation exacerbate operational challenges, particularly as threats continue to evolve and become increasingly difficult to identify.

Following our successful MITRE ATT&CK Evaluation results earlier this month, WatchGuard has now achieved an AAA rating in the SE Labs Endpoint Protection Suite (EPS) evaluation, the highest possible score in this independent test. SE Labs evaluates prevention and response in real-world scenarios, validating the ability to stop attacks while allowing legitimate business activity to continue uninterrupted.

As organizations accelerate toward 2026, the cybersecurity landscape is becoming more complex, more unpredictable, and more heavily influenced by fast-evolving technologies like generative AI. Threat actors are moving with unprecedented speed, regulatory demands are increasing, and the tools and techniques needed to defend modern environments are shifting just as rapidly.

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.
