“WatchGuard is a 100-percent channel sales company. Our partners are our core, customer-facing sales team. The security threat landscape is changing fast and blended threats need blended solutions. At WatchGuard, it is our continuous endeavour to provide our partners solutions that can meet the ever-evolving challenges of network security threats effectively and it is equally important to train them on these solutions. We conduct hands-on trainings, webinars, knowledge sharing sessions on regular intervals and this 3-city hands-on training is part of this initiative. We are sure that our partners will be greatly benefitted from this and would be able to fully leverage the Best-in-Class, defense-in-depth XTM solutions and the latest features added, such as ‘RapidDeploy – remote configuration’, ‘Policy Grouping’, ‘Link Aggregation’, etc. said Mohit Puri, Country Manager, WatchGuard India & SAARC.
The new enhanced throughputs and many new features like ‘Policy Grouping’, ‘Link Aggregation’ etc. added more value. ‘RapidDeploy’ capability created industry’s first self-configuring UTM security appliance resulting in significant reduction in total cost of ownership.
