Wick Hill announces it is now shipping WatchGuard Dimension, a zero-install, public and private cloud-ready network security visibility solution. WatchGuard Dimension comes standard with WatchGuard’s flagship Unified Threat Management (UTM) platform and provides a suite of visibility and reporting tools that instantly isolates and distils actionable security issues and trends, speeding network professionals' ability to set meaningful security policies.

Ian Kilpatrick, chairman Wick Hill Group, said: “A key challenge for businesses of all sizes is visibility. It’s particularly true for security. Most organisations fly blind at a management level, yet PCI, directors’ responsibilities and compliance requirements all place the responsibility on senior management. WatchGuard Dimension not only provides executive dashboard views, it also provides Firewatch exception reporting, as well as multiple prepared reports. This is a key management tool, as well as an outstanding security environment.”

Dave R. Taylor, vice president of corporate and product strategy at WatchGuard Technologies, commented: "In a recent report from the SANS Institute,* only 10 percent of respondents felt confident in their organizations ability to analyze large data sets for security trends, even though 77 percent are collecting logs and monitoring data from systems and security devices. WatchGuard Dimension solves this challenge by instantly turning raw network data into actionable security intelligence in the big data visualization style today's users have come to expect."
