2012 Security Predictions in Review: Win or Fail? We’re nearing the end of the year, which means the season of holiday decorations, spiked eggnog, and Christmas music blaring in every store and on all the radio stations… It also means the season of annual predictions. Every year, the WatchGuard security analysts and I pull out our crystal balls, tarot cards, and tea leaves, and try to forecast some of the security threats and trends you can expect in the following year.
ASG 8.308 Up2Date Released
We have started to spread ASG Up2Date 8.308, which finalizes the process for one-touch upgrading to UTM 9 for supported appliances by solving a few issues and polishing the operation across all remaining models. Note that HA/Clustering systems are not yet supported and will unlock at a later date in early 2013. As part of the adjustments, you now need to be at ASG 8.308 to perform the UTM 9 one-touch upgrade, so install this release before attempting, as version 8.306 and 8.307 will not be allowed to upgrade anymore
ASG 8.307 Up2Date Released

UTM 9.004 Up2Date Released
We have just uploaded released UTM 9.004. This main reason for this release is to support our new UTM 100 product and its associated licensing, and we'll also take the opportunity to increase the stability of UTM 9 by quashing a few bugs, notably a pesky one with IOS6 and the Cisco VPN client which we support. IOS6 should again work with your UTM VPN configurations.

Scheduled Access through the Firewall
With this video, you’re going to learn how to set up scheduled firewall policies that will only allow traffic to certain sites at certain times of the day. For this example, we’re going to institute a policy allowing access to Youtube and Facebook only during usual lunch hours. Having such policies in place can help maintain productivity without completely restricting access to recreational content on the web, which is increasingly a regular part of users’ daily lives.
