WatchGuard Technologies celebrates 30 years as an MSP security leader, helping protect businesses worldwide. The company has earned long-term trust by delivering unified cybersecurity solutions for MSPs around the globe.
“For 30 years, we’ve earned trust the hard way by delivering enterprise-grade security built for MSPs, adapting fast, and always showing up when you need us the most,” said Joe Smolarski, CEO of WatchGuard Technologies. “Our focus is simple: deliver the best protection, streamline operations with automation and reduced noise, and help partners scale a profitable security practice. Longevity isn’t the goal. Momentum is. And our momentum comes from building with partners, not around them, so they can protect customers no matter how the threat landscape shifts.”
Partner Growth and Market Evolution
WatchGuard has grown with MSPs as their services evolved from basic IT support to full managed security. The company’s partner-first product strategy and scalable programs reflect long-term relationships built through market change. Which has partnered with more than 50,000 cybersecurity providers throughout its three decades. Today, WatchGuard protects over 1.5 million customers and secures millions of endpoints worldwide.
“WatchGuard is one of the few vendors that truly understands how MSPs operate: standardized, repeatable, and under constant pressure to do more with less,” said Don Gulling, president & CEO, Verteks Consulting, Inc.“They help us deliver real protection without burying us in complexity, and that consistency has made them a foundation of our security stack for years.”
Security Innovation and Future Focus
WatchGuard continually evolves its security to meet emerging threat techniques and rising expectations. You don’t last 30 years in cybersecurity by being comfortable. You last by being credible, then staying flexible.
“ Cybersecurity is full of vendors that look strong until the market shifts. Then they disappear, get acquired, or stop innovating,” said Jay McBain, chief analyst at Omdia. “WatchGuard’s durability signals something more important than age: the ability to evolve through multiple eras of cybersecurity while staying aligned to MSP economics, operational realities, and customer outcomes.”
