Add Custom Branding

Applies To: Cloud-managed Fireboxes, Locally-managed Fireboxes

Custom branding enables you to brand WatchGuard Cloud with your own logos and images to communicate with clients and users and make sure they know who to contact in the event of service issues.

As an operator with the Administrator or Owner role, you can customize these items:

  • Logos and images that appear in reports and emails generated by WatchGuard Cloud
  • Logos and images that appear in the IdP portal and emails generated by AuthPoint
  • Reply-to email address for notification and report emails sent by WatchGuard Cloud
  • Reply-to email address for emails sent by AuthPoint
  • Logo and thumbnail on the set password and token activation web pages
  • Contact information that appears in WatchGuard Cloud email and PDF report footers
  • Logos and images that appear in an access point Captive Portal splash page
  • Splash page text for an access point Captive Portal splash page

After you customize your branding options, click Save at the bottom of the page to save the changes. The changes are immediately applied to your WatchGuard Cloud account. This updates branding used by all Subscriber accounts that the current account manages unless they have configured custom branding for their account.
