Among the 80 people, there are people from various industries who use WatchGuard Network Security features directly and indirectly. The vast majority use it for internet browsing (web control and browsing security). Some company management users use VPN to securely access internal resources when they are away from the company. Only the IT sector represented by me that configures WatchGuard.
