He said WatchGuard's XTM vision is built upon the premise that network security solutions fundamentally need to have that extended quality or ability.

"XTM appliances must be able to proactively adapt to dynamic network environments as well as protect against the litany of unknown, future threats," Kiss said. "With extensible protection, as businesses grow, so too does their security platform."

Kiss revealed most network administrators work in mixed network environments of disparate infrastructure components and solutions. He said it is essential for these administrators to have a flexible and scalable gateway security appliance that can be modified, updated and customized to meet their particular security profiles and postures.

Kiss said WatchGuard is targeting the medium-sized enterprises in the Philippines, those who have at least 3,000 employees and above, for its XTM and network connectivity solutions, from point solution to a single box.

He said WatchGuard has partnered with Lamco International to be their company's local IT distributor in the Philippines.
