We’re proud to share that WatchGuard Technologies has been named the Best Authentication Technology winner at the 2025 SC Awards!

When necessary, you water it, monitor it, and weed out what doesn’t belong before it spreads. The same principle applies to cybersecurity. In today’s digital landscape, cyber threats evolve rapidly. From phishing and privilege escalation to rogue access and lateral movement, attacks often take root well before they’re discovered. That’s why detection and response are no longer optional ‒ essential for resilience.

Every year, World Password Day highlights the importance of strong credentials and password managers. But the real issue today isn't whether your password is complex enough—it's whether it's already been stolen and is for sale on the dark web. Millions of credentials are circulating in underground marketplaces like e-commerce platforms, complete with verified vendors, customer support, and full database access.

WatchGuard is proud to announce we have won the following award(s) from Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM), the industry's leading electronic information security magazine.

As a cybersecurity company, we spend every day thinking about how to protect the world from threats.

Let’s be honest — when most people hear “cybersecurity training,” their eyes glaze over faster than a workstation running Windows 98. But here’s the kicker: 74% of data breaches still involve a human element, whether through social engineering, errors, or misuse, according to Verizon’s 2023 DBIR. That’s not just a stat — it’s a blinking neon sign pointing to the importance of cybersecurity culture.
