WatchGuard releases XCS 10 to address Global IT Security Needs

For its email and web-based security appliance, WatchGuard Technologies has announced the release of its latest operating system, WatchGuard XCS Version 10. With new Microsoft Hyper-V support for XCSv, IPv6 support, and outbound anti-spam capabilities, XCS 10 streamlines the implementation and management of content security strategies for small, medium and large enterprises.
 
WatchGuard XCS delivers an effective defense-in-depth platform for email, Web and data loss prevention. The latest upgrade to our operating system is designed to make deployment and management easier for IT security professionals, and deliver new functionality that can help meet today's challenges around virtualization and IPv6, said Roger Klorese, Director of Product Management, WatchGuard Technologies.
 
XCS provides protection from email and web-based threats, including spam, viruses, compromised websites, blended threats and network attacks. It also allows organizations to apply the same rich security controls to their email when migrating to IPv6 or mixed addressing environments.
 
Furthermore, with the proliferation of BYOD and guest network access, IT organizations can no longer count on attacks coming only from outside the business. To help combat this problem, WatchGuard XCS 10 includes outbound anti-spam controls to clean outbound email and help preserve corporate reputation.
 
XCS Version 10 is a free upgrade available to all users of the XCS hardware and XCSv virtual appliances with LiveSecurity subscriptions.
