WatchGuard Extends Business Mobility with New SSL VPN Appliance

New WatchGuard SSL 100 - Highly Secure, Easy to Use, Flexible and Affordable
Network Connectivity for Small-to-Medium Sized Businesses

LAS VEGAS, May 19 /PRNewswire/ -- (Interop) -- WatchGuard(R) Technologies, a
global leader in extensible network security and connectivity solutions, today
unveiled the WatchGuard SSL 100 - a highly secure, easy to use and extremely
flexible, all-in-one SSL VPN appliance that gives businesses an affordable way
to provide their remote and mobile workers with network access and application
delivery for maximum productivity.

"Remote and mobile workers are the front line for many businesses, and key to
their productivity and success is having easy to use, highly secure access to
critical data, resources and applications," said Bryan Nairn, Senior Product
Manager at WatchGuard Technologies. "The new WatchGuard SSL 100 leverages our
award-winning and feature-rich enterprise SSL VPN technology, and distills it
into a best in class, all-in-one appliance."

Ideal for businesses with up to 500 users, the WatchGuard SSL 100 supports up
to 100 concurrent connections. Unlike other vendor SSL VPN offerings that
require additional add-ons or expensive service contracts, the WatchGuard SSL
100 provides a complete and comprehensive array of features that are designed
to provide maximum ease of use, flexibility and high security for less than
$2,000.

WatchGuard - Making Remote Access Easy
Nimble by design, the WatchGuard SSL 100 comes ready to go out of the box as
one, easy to install appliance that almost anyone can set up and run. With its
installation wizards, the "time to value" of the WatchGuard SSL 100 is
measured in minutes.

Because of its comprehensive authentication technology, the WatchGuard SSL 100
completely eliminates the required burden of integrating the appliance with
other third-party authentication systems, such as LDAP, Active Directory, or
RADIUS. However, for businesses that already use these types of
authentication systems, the WatchGuard SSL 100 can seamlessly interoperate
with them, as well.

With comprehensive logging and reporting capabilities, the WatchGuard SSL 100
provides a rich history of remote user information that gives businesses
insight to better manage and adjust remote resources, applications and
infrastructure needs.

WatchGuard - Extending Business Flexibility
For organizations that want to deliver applications or tools to remote users,
the WatchGuard SSL 100 offers delivery of non-native desktop and server
applications such as SSH (Secure Shell) and RDP (Remote Desktop). This allows
remote workers to securely access and work with applications as if they were
in the office from any location worldwide.

To help road warriors, WatchGuard provides Desktop Sharing and Remote Assist.
This feature allows administrators or business channel partners to initiate
connections to remote devices, such as laptops, from their helpdesk. They can
then take control of and diagnose remote user issues quickly and easily, thus
saving time and helping to keep road warriors productive in the field.

WatchGuard - Providing Security for Mobile Workers
Leveraging WatchGuard's security heritage and technology portfolio, the
WatchGuard SSL 100 provides unmatched security features for remote workers.
With its new deep device examination, end-point integrity checking
functionality, businesses can easily create and enforce security policies to
ensure connecting devices have firewall protection and up to date anti-virus
definitions so that only healthy and policy compliant devices are on the
network.

Furthermore, the WatchGuard SSL 100 provides an auto-loading access client.
This is a web-based access client that automatically loads after successful
authentication. This eliminates the need to pre-install a client application
on remote users' systems, while simplifying secure access to network
resources.

Additional security can be utilized with onboard two-factor authentication.
The WatchGuard SSL 100 can generate SMS-based tokens and one-time password
(OTP) to a user's mobile device, such as a corporate cell phone, smart phone
or wireless PDA. This provides fast and secure two-factor authentication
without having to use other third-party authentication solutions. However,
for businesses that currently use external authentication methods, the
WatchGuard SSL 100 supports over a dozen different authentication types right
out of the box.

The WatchGuard SSL 100 also provides enhanced access client support. With
current client support for Microsoft Windows 32-bit and 64-bit clients, the
WatchGuard SSL 100 also supports Microsoft Vista clients and is Windows 7
ready.

Pricing and Availability
The WatchGuard SSL 100 is $1,999 and will be available to channel partners
around the world in June. More information about WatchGuard and WatchGuard
