Reading Time: 3 minutes

As a leading provider of IT and cybersecurity services to small- to medium-sized businesses in the Twin Cities, it’s important that we partner with vendors that support our mission and provide access to robust security solutions. One such key partner is WatchGuard Technologies, a global leader in network security, secure Wi-Fi, and multi-factor authentication.  

“WatchGuard has been and continues to be a great partner to SUCCESS,” says Inside Sales Supervisor Stacy Lind. “They’re always there to support us when needed and are always willing to lead discussions about security with our customers and team.” 

WatchGuard has been instrumental in supporting SUCCESS’ security offerings and enabling our team of experts to provide comprehensive solutions, proactively respond to potential incidents, and ensure business continuity for the organizations with which we partner.  

Key WatchGuard Services 

Because of WatchGuard’s unified approach to security services, SUCCESS is able to consistently provide our clients with the solutions they need to protect against evolving threats, such as: 

1. Advanced Network Security 

To ensure the highest level of security for our clients, SUCCESS leverages WatchGuard’s Unified Threat Management (UTM) solutions, which combine firewalls, antivirus, intrusion prevention, and web filtering into a single platform. This offering allows us to provide our clients with a complete security solution that is able to be tailored and managed to best align with organizational needs.   

2. End-to-End Cybersecurity 

The SUCCESS team is dedicated to ensuring the organizations with which we partner are armed with the security tools and solutions necessary to comprehensively prevent and protect against evolving threats. With the extensive tools offered by WatchGuard, which include Endpoint Protection and Network Security, we are able to more effectively deliver tailored solutions that cover all aspects of cybersecurity. Whether it’s protecting remote workers or securing on-premise infrastructure, WatchGuard allows us to meet and ultimately exceed our clients’ security needs.  

3. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) 

WatchGuard’s AuthPoint MFA is a vital part of our cybersecurity offering, ensuring that even if passwords are compromised, unauthorized users cannot access critical systems. AuthPoint integrates seamlessly with our clients’ existing infrastructure, adding an extra layer of security without disrupting day-to-day operations. 

“With the addition of Authpoint MFA, WatchGuard was able to secure remote access to customer networks, which increased security from the outside world,” says Inside Sales Supervisor Stacy Lind. “This security measure became even more important during the pandemic and is still essential for most businesses, as it’s a requirement for obtaining cyber insurance.”  

4. Reliable, High-Performance Hardware 

WatchGuard’s key hardware offerings – such as firewalls – are critical components in maintaining the stability, security, and performance of our clients’ IT infrastructure. These devices are designed for reliability and are protected with warranties that ensure network operations can continue smoothly even in the event of unexpected challenges or incidents.  

5. Training and Certification Opportunities 

One of SUCCESS’s core values is a commitment to continuous improvement and expertise development. One of the key components of our partnership with WatchGuard is the training and certification programs they offer, enabling our team to actively advance their skills and knowledge of industry best practices. Additionally, a part of WatchGuard’s training and certification programs include information on the latest security technologies, which provides our team with in-depth insight into the latest security technologies and ensures they’re well-equipped to deploy and manage WatchGuard solutions as effectively as possible.
