What is WatchGuard Network Security?
The WatchGuard Firebox family of firewalls offers critical network security solutions for businesses of all types and sizes, including tabletop and 1U rack-mounted appliances to Cloud and virtual firewalls. Firebox appliances deliver critical security services from standard IPS, URL filtering, gateway AV, application control, and antispam, to advanced protections such as file sandboxing, and DNS filtering. High-performance deep packet inspection (DPI) means users can leverage these security services against attacks attempting to hide in encrypted channels like HTTPS. Additionally, every Firebox offers SD-WAN right out of the box for improved network resiliency and performance.

We work with eMazzanti on all our WatchGuard purchases. I can't express enough how great they have been. They take all our questions, big and small, and get answers to them. They don't care if you are a small customer or a huge customer, all are treated as important. They will bring in WatchGuard subject matter experts and sales engineers should their expertise not be able to answer our questions and concerns and are not afraid to have them on a call with us. They have even escalated our WatchGuard issue that has open tickets to help us.
Great Product for the Price!

For the purchase and implementation, we work hand in hand with Cstisa. At the moment we have found a very professional partnet and it always goes hand in hand with any questions or problems that arise using WatchGuard Network Security. I can say that I am very satisfied with the work that Cstisa has done.

We work with Interwork Technologies for all our WatchGuard purchases. I couldn't be happier with them and their staff, they are very attentive and knowledgeable.
