Single sign-on (SSO) is a tool that simplifies the authentication process by allowing users to log in and access various digital applications and services using a single set of credentials. This authentication solution works through a central service that authenticates users once and then provides an authentication token for the applications they wish to use. This token enables applications to verify user identity without users having to re-enter their credentials.
Our customers benefit from streamlined transactions as WatchGuard has joined the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF), the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. DPF.

It's no secret that news of cyberattacks and data breaches that cause significant damage are becoming increasingly frequent in cybersecurity. Malicious actors are also constantly coming up with new threats, such as zero day attacks that are designed to avoid detection and bypass traditional security measures. It's crucial to take a comprehensive and global stance on this issue, rather than relying on a single security layer.
The growing network perimeter is a fact of life. Attacks on corporate networks can take many forms, such as viruses, backdoors, denial of service (DoS) attacks, macros, remote logins, phishing emails, social engineering, and spam. In this evolving threat landscape, firewalls continue to play a key role in securing our networks and devices.
