Business security solutions vendor, WatchGuard Technologies, reported another massive revenue growth in the first quarter, surpassing a record Q4 in 2010.
The company said its top grossing Q1 in history was due to increased business demand across all regions.
Growth across A/NZ was stimulated by local interest for WatchGuard's all-in-one secure email, content and data leakage prevention solutions available through WatchGuard’s XCS product range.
It recorded 46 per cent year-on-year growth.
WatchGuard named three factors that contributed to its back-to-back record growth:
Along with an increase among SMB purchases, there was a substantially improved demand from mid-market and enterprise organisations – indicating broader industry adoption of multifunction security appliances as businesses replace legacy firewalls with feature-rich UTM appliances.
WatchGuard noted tremendous demand for its latest Application Control security service.
There was a growing requirement for its cloud-based security service, Reputation Enabled Defense, which provides businesses with faster, more dynamic web surfing experiences and greater protection against viruses, malware, spyware, keyloggers, botnets and other Web-based threats.
The company recently released the latest enhancements to its XTM operating system and engaged five new partners to its reseller portfolio.
