We’re thrilled to share some exciting news from the WatchGuard family ‒ The 443 – Security Simplified podcast, hosted by our very own Chief Security Officer Corey Nachreiner and Director of Security Operations Marc Laliberte, has just been named a winner of the 2025 TechZone360 Tech Podcast Awards!
This recognition is not just a win for the podcast, it's a celebration of the countless hours Corey and Marc have dedicated to making cybersecurity understandable, engaging, and (yes!) even entertaining.
Breaking Down Security, One Episode at a Time
Since its launch, The 443 has stood out for its thoughtful analysis, approachable delivery, and real-world relevance. Whether it's dissecting the latest AI-powered scam campaigns, unpacking exploit disclosures, or predicting what’s next in the threat landscape, this podcast isn’t afraid to go deep. And that’s exactly what sets it apart. “It’s more like a TV show than a podcast,” said the TechZone360 judges ‒ and we couldn’t agree more.
Their coverage in standout episodes like Episode 312: The Age of AI-Powered Scams and Episode 316: Our 2025 Security Predictions proves why The 443 has become a must-listen for IT leaders, MSPs, security professionals, and tech enthusiasts who want to stay ahead of cybercriminals.
A Team Effort with a Mission
This award reflects WatchGuard’s broader mission: to make enterprise-grade security accessible, understandable, and actionable. Corey and Marc embody this every time they hit record. They simplify complex concepts without dumbing them down, making sure listeners walk away more informed, more prepared, and more confident in the face of a rapidly evolving digital threat landscape.
Let’s not forget ‒ this show isn’t just for security experts. Even typical users can learn a thing or two (or ten) from their conversations. As threats become more sophisticated, The 443 ensures there's always a trusted source to help you make sense of it all. We can’t wait to hear what’s next!
