Seattle Kraken Boosts Cyber Defense
During the 2023-2024 season, the Kraken IT team replaced their existing cybersecurity solution with WatchGuard. Now they protect the team’s digital assets, including sensitive player data, financial transactions, and proprietary information with WatchGuard firewalls, endpoint protection, antivirus, advanced threat detection and response, and patch management – all from one intuitive console.
“I spoke with a colleague [about WatchGuard] and he said, ‘I love those guys and love that company,’ and I felt that throughout this entire process. It’s an incredibly reliable resource for us, and I’ve felt safer knowing WatchGuard is there to protect us.”
~Sean Rawlins
Director of IT, Seattle Kraken
“It’s so easy to use, and I feel like it’s tailored just for us. We now have time to go fight other fires that pop up, and devote time to other projects.”
