Overall, there was less operational overhead for the team. It was not that the previous solution was bad, but for our use case, we needed something that was easier to manage without compromising core security, especially in a small team environment.

WatchGuard Firebox simplifies several aspects of daily IT and security operations, especially in MSP and multi-site environments. One major benefit is centralized security management. Instead of managing separate tools for firewalling, VPNs, web filtering, and intrusion prevention, many of these functions are available with a single platform. This reduces administrative overhead and makes troubleshooting much faster.

WatchGuard Firebox has simplified aspects of my work, for example, the process of enabling remote work has been advantageous because by deploying an automated Windows agent, it already deploys the VPN client quickly and easily.

WatchGuard Firebox does really simplify things a lot when it comes to configuration. You do not have to be on-site. For example, when configuring an off-site Firebox, such as a satellite office, you do not need to go right there; you just have to configure it on the premises of your office and then send WatchGuard Firebox to that off-site office. It is already configured there, and you just have to turn it on. This is a really simplified way of configuring things.

A concrete example of how that reliable and secure environment has improved the daily work or operations of the university is being able to identify attacks, with WatchGuard Firebox, the firewall, mitigating them has provided more security for the whole university.

Specific outcomes I have seen since using WatchGuard Firebox include saving time, as during threat hunting activities, the red team had their activities, and we could not catch all the alerts or logs with our SIEM. Through this, we were able to catch all the logs, analyze them, and create relatable SIEM logs and rules to catch those alerts. We later integrated more logs from WatchGuard Firebox into the SIEM solution, Rapid7, which helped a lot in managing network logs.
