LiveSecurity Service
No Internet security solution is complete without systematic updates. From the latest
hacker techniques to the most recently discovered operating system bug, the daily
barrage of new threats poses a perpetual challenge to any Internet security solution.
The LiveSecurity Service keeps your security system up-to-date by delivering
solutions to you. Software Updates, Threat Responses, and other broadcasts are e-
mailed directly to your desktop.
LiveSecurity broadcasts
The WatchGuard LiveSecurity Rapid Response Team periodically broadcasts
information and software directly to your desktop through e-mail. Broadcasts are
divided into several channels to help you immediately recognize and process
incoming information.
Information Alert
Information Alerts provide timely notification of breaking news and current
issues in Internet security. By the time the mass media report on a new hacker
threat, you have already been briefed on its impact and the proper system
configuration necessary to protect against it.
Threat Response
After a newly discovered threat is identified, the Rapid Response Team
transmits an update specifically addressing this threat to make sure your
network is continuously protected. Each Threat Response includes a
description detailing the nature and severity of the threat, the risks it poses,
and what steps you should take.
Software Update
In addition to Threat Responses that address security challenges, you receive
functional software enhancements on an ongoing basis that cover your entire
WatchGuard Firebox System. An installation wizard and release notes
