Company History
WatchGuard was founded in 1996 in Seattle, Washington, initially providing firewall and VPN solutions. Over the years, it expanded its portfolio through acquisitions (e.g., Panda Security in 2022, which brought a Spanish presence) and organic development to cover network security, endpoint protection, and MDR services. Today, it remains a privately held company focused on the mid-market with a global channel-first growth model.
