Eliminate Spam and Email-borne Threats 
The dangers carried by spam have never been greater. Highly 
sophisticated email scams are luring users to web sites where 
malicious code awaits. Data is stolen, malware propagated, 
and networks infected with spyware and botnets. 
WatchGuard XCS utilizes breakthrough innovations in email 
security to stop today’s spam threats. An “in the cloud” reputation 
lookup service blocks up to 98% of spam at the connection level, 
then the powerful anti-spam engine conducts a rigorous analysis 
of messages and attachments on the remaining email. The result 
is industry-leading spam protection, with huge savings in email 
processing overhead.  
Extend Protection to Web Traffic 
Adding a Web Security subscription to your XCS appliance will 
extend that same powerful protection to all your web traffic  
as well. The cloud-based web reputation service determines 
the risk level of each web page to stop threats at the perimeter. 
URL filtering analyzes and blocks access to web sites based on 
pre-defined policies to reduce risks, prevent legal liabilities 
from inappropriate web surfing, and protect bandwidth. 
Stop the Loss of Sensitive Data
Confidential  information can leave the network, accidentally 
or maliciously, in many ways. Email is the primary threat vector 
for data loss, yet web communications over popmail services 
such as Hotmail and Gmail, business collaboration tools, 
and social networking sites like LinkedIn and Facebook have 
become just as common egress points for sensitive data. 
The data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities of WatchGuard 
XCS enable tight control over all outbound traffic no matter
