WatchGuard Launches Industry's Most Comprehensive Unified Threat Management Security Bundle for the SMB

        UTM appliance bundle includes true Zero Day protection,
 anti-virus, IPS, content filtering, spam blocking, spyware protection
       and WatchGuard's innovative LiveSecurity support package

   WatchGuard Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: WGRD), a leading provider
of Unified Threat Management (UTM) solutions, announced the most
comprehensive all-in-one UTM hardware and security services package
for the small- to medium-sized business on the market today. The new
offering, based on the recently introduced Firebox X Core e-Series,
helps eliminate the time and hassle associated with deploying multiple
security solutions by combining components that work cooperatively
together -- in one convenient package.
   The UTM bundle combines WatchGuard's flagship Firebox X Core
e-Series UTM appliance with the company's robust security services,
which include Gateway AntiVirus / Intrusion Prevention with
anti-spyware, spamBlocker, WebBlocker and LiveSecurity support. By
offering a packaged solution set, WatchGuard is making it easier for
resellers to provide their customers with more complete protection
from the varied and pernicious threats coursing across the Internet
today. End-users will also benefit as the deployment of multiple
security services is made much easier, now only requiring a single
license.
   "WatchGuard has seen both reseller and customer demand for
enhanced security solutions that can be rolled out and managed in a
simple manner," said David Ridout, WatchGuard vice president of sales.
"Our UTM bundle combines powerful, unified security with increased
convenience and streamlined administration, at a competitive price.
Unlike other vendors abandoning hardware-based security, WatchGuard
remains committed to providing the most comprehensive, multi-layered
defense against network attacks, which includes highly secure hardware
appliances combined with a suite of integrated services."
   The Firebox X Core e-Series appliance uses WatchGuard's unique
Intelligent Layered Security with its powerful proxies that
proactively block malware to provide Zero Day attack prevention from
new and unknown threats. WatchGuard's Gateway AV/IPS engine stops
malware not detected by proxies. spamBlocker blocks unwanted email in
real time, including new image-based threats. WebBlocker boosts
productivity by blocking undesirable URLs and Web content that
adversely affect productivity and may also infect a network with
malicious code. And the cooperation of security functions means less
network degradation than competitive offerings.
   WatchGuard's ground-breaking LiveSecurity Support package includes
security experts, consultants and engineers that continuously monitor
the network security landscape, provide ongoing education with
training, user forums, Web chats, editorials and breaking threat
alerts, in addition to software updates, technical support and
hardware warranty expected from a support organization.
   Innovative educational tools -- such as SecurityWise, which
provides easy-to-understand network security training sessions, and
video 'cubecasts' that address prevalent security threats in an
informative, actionable manner -- set WatchGuard's support apart.
Combining the appliance, robust security capabilities and ongoing
educational and support services into a single unit allows WatchGuard
customers to benefit from a complete and comprehensive security
solution right out of the box.

   Pricing and Availability

   The new WatchGuard UTM bundle starts at a US MSRP of $4420 for the
Firebox X550e, and is available immediately.
