CVE-2022-30339: INTEL-SA-00721

Powered by WatchGuard’s Unified Security Platform® architecture, new Fireboxes deliver enhanced performance and added security capabilities that MSPs and IT admins can easily manage in WatchGuard Cloud.

**SEATTLE – February 16, 2023 –** WatchGuard® Technologies, a global leader in unified cybersecurity, today announced the release of its new Firebox T25/T25-W,T45/T45-POE/T45-W-POE, and T85-POE tabletop firewall appliances. Powered by WatchGuard’s Unified Security Platform® architecture to deliver comprehensive security and simplified management through WatchGuard Cloud, these new firewalls are engineered to provide the performance that remote and distributed business environments need for better protection against the latest network security threats.

With more memory and faster processing speeds for enhanced throughput,this new line of Firebox products enables WatchGuard partners, MSPs, and IT administrators to securebranch offices, office equipment, remote devices, retail point-of-sale (POS) software, and remote users from complex and emerging threats, while minimizing network configuration and management requirements.

“IT environments of all types and sizes face advanced and sophisticated threats from attackers, but SMBs and branch offices typically don’t have dedicated technical staff to configure, install and manage network security appliances,” said Ryan Poutre, product manager at WatchGuard Technologies. “This new generation of Fireboxes takes full advantage of our Unified Security Platform architecture, enabling MSPs to provide the robust solutions and simplified management they require to meet the needs of a wide range of customers and deployment scenarios.”

With enterprise-class security services likeAPT Blocker (sandbox malware detection) and ThreatSync for shared knowledge between endpoint and network, the new Fireboxesare idealfor small businesses that lack a designated security team. Beyond providing advanced malware protection for distributed environments, the new appliances include SD-WAN to optimize network performance by dynamically distributing network traffic across multiple connections based on defined policies.These new Fireboxes take advantage of the latest updates in WatchGuard Cloud to display a graphical real-time update of SD-WAN link status and any failovers, and they also support the latest Fireware capabilities for load sharing across multiple links. These capabilities are included in all of WatchGuard's service packages.

“WatchGuard’s tabletop Firebox appliances give us all the features and security protection of their bigger rackmount brothers, and make us more efficient with zero-touch provisioning to deploy and configure devices, upgrade firmware and apply policies after a remote user activates a device. We can quickly deploy and configure SD-WAN via WatchGuard Cloud from remote locations,” said Troy Midwood, chief technology officer at Aabyss. “These appliances are another example of WatchGuard’s focus on building great products that enable our MSP business.”

Key features for each of the new Firebox products include:

*   **WatchGuard Firebox T25/T25-W:** Provides stand-alone or centrally managed protection forsmall offices, home offices, and retail environments with complete enterprise-level network security. Zero-touch deployment via WatchGuard Cloud enables quick setup at remote locations to ensure secure connections. Provides up to 403 Mbps UTM throughput (running Gateway AntiVirus, IPS, and Application Control) and five 1 Gigabit Ethernet ports.
*   **WatchGuard Firebox T45/T45-POE/T45-W-POE:** Deliversstand-alone or centrally managedenterprise-level securityforsmall and midsize businesses. Boosts visibility into network activity/security events. Provides flexible management tools that enable quick setup at remote locations for secure business connections. Provides up to 557 Mbps UTM throughput and includes five 1 Gigabit Ethernet ports. The -POE models include one POE+ port to provide power to other devices like Wi-Fi access points.
*   **WatchGuard Firebox T85-POE:** Delivers high-performance, enterprise-level security that evolves with network requirements. Features SD-WAN, full UTM protection at over 940 Mbps, and expansion modules for integrated fiber or 4G connectivity.

WatchGuard Launches New Line of Firewall Products to Enhance Unified Security for Remote and Distributed Businesses

Only 10% of corporate executives expect to lay off members of cybersecurity teams in 2023, much lower than other areas, as companies protect hard-to-find skill sets.

Cybersecurity professionals will likely weather an economic downturn better than most other workers, as corporate executives worry that a recession could bring an increase in cyberattacks and acknowledge the difficulty in hiring knowledgeable workers, according to a new study by (ISC)2, a cybersecurity certification group.

The survey of 1,000 nontechnical C-level business leaders found that companies are more likely to cut employees in human resources, finance, and operations, and least likely to cut in cybersecurity, IT, and operations.

The reasons are pretty clear: 87% of executives thought a reduction in their cybersecurity team would increase their business risk, and 80% believed that economic troubles will lead to more cyber threats.

The results suggest that even non-technical executives have increased the priority of cybersecurity, says Clar Rosso, CEO of (ISC)2.

"In the workforce study every year, we're talking to cybersecurity professionals, so we know what they think," she says. "Now we see that organizational leaders are saying that \[cybersecurity professionals\] are on the bottom of our list to cut, and they're on the top of our list if we need to hire back."

Economists still widely expect a recession in 2023, despite strong job data and the Federal Reserve's continued efforts to increase interest rates and reduce money supply. In December, a Bloomberg poll showed economists predicted a 70% chance of a recession, and in January, a Wall Street Journal poll of economists suggested a 61% chance of a recession.

Yet, with annual inflation remaining above 4% for the past 22 months, companies have already started taking steps to prepare for an economic downturn, including staff reductions. In the cybersecurity industry, for example, more than 55 vendors have already laid off workers, according to Layoffs.fyi.

**Cybersecurity Gigs Are Resilient**

The (ISC)2 survey suggests that most layoffs are not cybersecurity or IT jobs, but administration and support. In cybersecurity, only 31% of companies expect to reduce their cybersecurity workforce if the economy declines, while 51% will prioritize reinvestment in cybersecurity if the economy improves, according to the survey.

The spread between the two sentiments is the highest for cybersecurity among all business units, with IT teams coming in second place, facing a 35% expectation of a reduction in bad times and 49% expectation of reinvestment in good times. Human resources and sales are the most at risk, with 44% and 41% of executives indicating they will lay off HR and sales staff in bad times, respectively, while 29% and 30% will prioritize the reinvestment in those departments if the economy improves.

Highlighting the pent-up demand in cybersecurity, three-quarters of executives (74%) would consider hiring cybersecurity workers laid off from other companies, the (ISC)2 survey found.

"With reports of job cuts at organizations including Twitter, Meta, Microsoft, Amazon and Google, cybersecurity staff could benefit from proactive hiring targeted towards those recent layoffs," the report stated. "With so many tech jobs impacted by recent layoffs, it is possible that many of those individuals may find opportunity in pursuing a career in cybersecurity, where they can apply related skills and expertise."

The resilience in demand for cybersecurity professionals comes as many workers burned out and resigned, part of the Great Resignation in 2022.

Organizations that lost valuable specialists did so for three main reasons, Rosso says. Cybersecurity teams have traditionally not had great career advancement opportunities, so their ability to gain promotions and increased salaries at their current company are often limited. In addition, the culture surrounding many security teams has often led to burnout and mental stress, she says.

"We know, for example, that at the end of 2021 and beginning of 2022, the Log4j issue was causing people to clock a lot of hours, and that led to some burnout," she says. "Not that cybersecurity professionals aren't always working long hours and hard, but it's just kind of a spike above and beyond."

Finally, the push to bring workers back to the office has often led people with in-demand specialties to look elsewhere.

**Cyber Threats Abound**

The resilience of cybersecurity jobs is buoyed by the constant reminders of business risks that come in the form of ransomware attacks, data breaches, and stolen intellectual property. The vast majority of executives (81%) believe that threats will increase in 2023.

The survey did not poll technical executives, such as chief technology officers (CTOs) or chief information security officers (CISOs), but gathered opinions from the nontechnical executives, such as CEOs and chief financial officers (CFOs).

"It is likely this maturing view of cybersecurity has been shaped by a continuing series of high-profile and damaging breaches," the report stated. "Security incidents have left no doubt as to the lengths threat actors will go to steal data or disrupt operations, in some cases even putting lives at risk."

In the last (ISC)2 workforce survey, the gap between available cybersecurity workers and demand shrank to 2.7 million, from 3.1 million the prior year. Many companies had closed out positions as the economy became unpredictable, leading to decelerating demand, Rosso says.

"When we were heading into 2021, our predictions were that we would see the workforce gap go up incredibly, and it actually contracted," she says. "The reason it contracted was because there was economic uncertainty, and what organizations did was they froze, or they eliminated, their open positions."

With economic growth, however, the need for cybersecurity workers will continue, she says.
