WatchGuard Gold Support

Your Always-On Security Partner — Because Downtime Isn't an Option

24x7 Coverage 1-Hour Response Unlimited Cases

WatchGuard Gold Support

Why Gold Support Exists

Most teams today are running lean. You may not have the bandwidth to troubleshoot complex network issues or sift through endless documentation.

Gold Support bridges that gap — combining immediate access to WatchGuard engineers, rapid response, and continuous updates that keep your defenses strong long after deployment.

At WatchGuard, we understand just how important support is when you are trying to secure your network with limited resources. You require greater knowledge and assistance in a world where security is becoming ever more critical and complex, and downtime can spell disaster.

WatchGuard Support Program Overview

The Real-World Problem: When Minutes Matter, Support Shouldn't Wait

Your network doesn't sleep — and neither do the threats targeting it.

When something goes wrong, you can't afford hours (or days) of uncertainty

Whether you're a network administrator, security engineer, or business owner, the reality is simple: Every minute of downtime costs money, productivity, and trust.

Gold Support gives you peace of mind

WatchGuard Gold Support gives you priority access to expert help 24x7, faster response times, and peace of mind that your network — and your reputation — are protected around the clock.

"With Gold Support, we don't panic anymore. If something happens, we know WatchGuard's got us covered — instantly."

Senior Network Administrator, Manufacturing Sector

When to Upgrade to Platinum

If your organization manages a complex or multi-site environment, Platinum adds a dedicated Technical Account Manager and quarterly reviews to keep your infrastructure optimized. But for most mid-sized companies, Gold hits the sweet spot — expert access, rapid response, and full protection without the enterprise overhead.

Note: For Platinum Support, the account must maintain an active Support contract for each appliance.

The Gold Standard of Confidence

When every minute matters, Gold Support is the difference between an incident and an outage.
It's not just a safety net — it's a partnership that keeps your organization resilient, responsive, and secure.

Because real support isn't reactive — it's ready.
