In recent years, the cybersecurity landscape has evolved dramatically, with more advanced threats and operational challenges for organizations. Many vendors offer security platforms that address these changes and streamline security management. This post explores vital capabilities managed service providers (MSPs) should prioritize when assessing such platforms and explains some shortcomings observed in other security platforms.

We’re thrilled to share that WatchGuard has been recognized in the 2023 TrustRadius Best Of Awards! With the “Best Of Awards,” TrustRadius recognizes products that have the highest percentage of positive reviews and ratings. This recognition certifies that WatchGuard products meet all these criteria with the highest quality standards. Three WatchGuard products were recognized, each earning all award badges – Best Feature Set, Best Value, and Best Relationships.

Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks have been around for a long time. However, the sophistication and scale of these threats has grown in recent years. Cybercriminals are employing amplification techniques that exploit vulnerabilities in misconfigured services or network protocols to increase the traffic they can generate and maximize the impact of their attacks.

Companies are increasingly aware of the importance of creating detection and hunting capacities that help to keep their business’s future from being put at risk. The popularity of threat-hunting services is a consequence of detecting ever more persistent attacks, which also last longer and longer. On top of this, cybercriminals also have ever more tactics to avoid traditional defense measures.
