Security threats have increased in sophistication, frequency, and complexity as we have seen hacking become increasingly driven by fraud and organized crime. Today, the traditional stateful packet inspecting firewall is insufficient network protection when working alone. Businesses need an integrated security solution that by design protects against today's threats while remaining flexible enough to defend against the threats of tomorrow.

Addressing this need, WatchGuard® created the Intelligent Layered Security (ILS) architecture to provide the best defense possible against today's complex and rapidly changing threat environment.
