WatchGuard Named Market Leader in Four Categories by Top InfoSec Innovators 2025
WatchGuard is proud to announce that we have been named a Market Leader in four critical categories by the Top InfoSec Innovators Awards 2025: Cybersecurity Service Provider, Endpoint Security, Managed Detection and Response (MDR), and Zero Trust Platform.
This recognition underscores WatchGuard’s commitment to delivering integrated, channel-centric, and enterprise-grade cybersecurity solutions that empower managed service providers (MSPs) and organizations of all sizes to defend more effectively in an era of rapidly evolving threats.
Why This Recognition Matters
- The Top InfoSec Innovators Awards are now in their 13th year and celebrate companies whose innovation is shaping the future of cyber defense.
- Being singled out as a Market Leader in four different domains reflects not only our breadth of technology but also our depth of execution – from endpoint protection and threat detection to fully managed services and zero trust architectures.
- This reinforces our mission: to reduce complexity and operational costs for partners and organizations alike, while delivering security tools that are simple to deploy, manage, and scale.
What This Means for Our Channel Partners and Organizations
For our MSP partners:
- You can confidently select WatchGuard as a strategic cybersecurity platform that is independently validated as best-in-class across multiple service domains.
- Our unified approach allows you to offer more value-added services ‒ endpoint, network, cloud, MDR, zero trust ‒ under a single platform and brand, increasing efficiency, margins, and long-term growth.
- You gain access to the tools, automation, and partner enablement resources needed to scale securely and profitably.
For organizations:
- You gain access to an ecosystem built on recognized leadership – a vendor that is not only innovating but whose solutions have been validated by industry experts.
- You can simplify your security stack ‒ fewer vendors, fewer consoles, fewer manual processes – without sacrificing protection or visibility.
- You benefit from our continuing commitment to threat intelligence, rapid detection and response, and zero trust enforcement ‒ critical in today’s landscape of AI-driven, fast-moving threats.
Our Zero Trust Vision in Action
Zero trust it’s a mindset that shapes how organizations protect every connection, device, and identity. At WatchGuard, we see zero trust as both a security principle and a practical framework that can be achieved through unified visibility and automation across the network, endpoint, and identity layers.
This philosophy has also been central to our ongoing “Real Security for the Real World” roadshow, where we’ve brought the zero trust conversation directly to partners and organizations across the world. By sharing real-world use cases, demonstrating the simplicity of enforcement, and showcasing how automation transforms security operations, we’re helping the market understand that zero trust is not aspirational – it’s achievable today through an integrated platform approach.
Looking Ahead
While we’re proud of this achievement, our focus remains firmly on the future. Threats are accelerating: autonomous attacks, deepfakes, supply-chain vulnerabilities, and agentic adversaries are already rewriting the rules of engagement. In response, WatchGuard is investing heavily in:
- Enhanced ML/AI and automation embedded across our platform.
- Greater synergy between MSPs and organizations to make enterprise-grade security accessible to all.
- Expanding our partner ecosystem and regional presence to ensure we remain close to every market we serve.
