WatchGuard Technologies has unveiled what it calls a “major upgrade” to its content security solutions specifically designed for small to medium sized businesses.

XCS 170, 370 and 570 security appliances now offer “enterprise-grade” web blocking security services in addition to email protection, data loss prevention, spam, virus, spyware and malware protection.

WatchGuard is also lowering its annual web security subscriptions for its XCS 770, 970 and 1170 appliances, and reducing prices across its XCS 370, 570 and 770 messaging appliances by up to 20 percent.

"Blended threats - attacks that use multiple sources, such as spam, viruses and malware-laden URLs - are becoming ubiquitous," said Scott Robertson, ANZ Country Manager at WatchGuard Technologies. "Having a spam firewall is not enough. Today, businesses need comprehensive security appliances that can thwart a multitude of threats, including the most pernicious of all, web-based payloads, such as spyware, keyloggers and other forms of malware."
