Seattle - February 17, 2014
WatchGuard® Technologies, a leader in integrated security platforms, today announced that its unified threat management (UTM) platform will be integrated by KYOCERA Document Solutions Japan
to deliver a new Security Management Service. The new service will
allow small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to print a variety of
security visibility reports directly from WatchGuard's security
solutions through KYOCERA's multifunction printers (MFP) and copiers.
This will allow SMB customers with little or no dedicated IT staff to
streamline security management and reporting.
"Many
SMB customers do not have the resources for a dedicated IT or security
professional, yet they still want to ensure their network is secure," said Scott Robertson, Vice President in Asia Pacific and Japan at WatchGuard Technologies. "This
partnership takes the best-in-class reporting capabilities of our UTM
platform and allows KYOCERA MFP customers to directly print standard
visibility reports through the digital operations panel of a MFP, which
is an industry first."
This
new integration will offer SMB customers a simple alternative to more
traditional security operation and management, and includes five
standard reports: Rejected Packet List, Virus Detection, Content
Filtering Block, Web Access List for Each Client, and RED Block.
"WatchGuard's
UTM platform offers SMB customers a very powerful network security
solution. Integrating its technology and reporting capabilities with our
MFPs will allow us to help customers increase their network visibility,
without the need for additional resources. This is just the first step
in our relationship as we strategically address security in all of our
networked devices," said Makoto Koga, President of KYOCERA Document Solutions Japan Co., Ltd.
