WatchGuard introduces new network security visibility solutionOct 17, 2013 (MarketLine via COMTEX) -- WatchGuard Technologies, Inc., a provider of business security solutions, has introduced WatchGuard Dimension, a cloud-ready network security visibility solution. WatchGuard Dimension will come standard with the company's flagship Unified Threat Management (UTM) platform and provides a suite of visibility and reporting tools that instantly isolates and distills actionable security issues and trends, speeding network professionals' ability to set meaningful security policies. "Around the world, network security pros tell us they are drowning in logs of data and find it time consuming - or nearly impossible - to identify key issues on their networks and make proper policy decisions," said Dave R. Taylor, vice president of corporate and product strategy at WatchGuard Technologies. "In a recent report from the SANS Institute, only 10 percent of respondents felt confident in their organizations ability to analyze large data sets for security trends, even though 77 percent are collecting logs and monitoring data from systems and security devices. WatchGuard Dimension solves this challenge by instantly turning raw network data into actionable security intelligence in the big data visualization style today's users have come to expect." WatchGuard Dimension offers users a menu of visibility and reporting options to present the information in the way they find most intuitive: Executive Dashboard; Summary Reporting; Hierarchical TreeMap; and Global ThreatMap. WatchGuard Dimension is now available with WatchGuard's 11.8 launch of its XTM security platform. Other major highlights include the addition of WatchGuard Data Loss Prevention to the platform, an updated Web User Interface compatible with mobile devices, and tremendous new flexibility in the configuration of VPNs in today's more complex network environments. http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
