Using an unordered list, summarize the following article with between 4 and 8 key points.
\n\t\t\t\t\tDuxbury Networking has strengthened its Duxbury Cybersecurity business unit with the addition of WatchGuard and Cynet.
\nThe move comes as cybersecurity buying becomes more fragmented and customer risk becomes harder to prioritise. Customers are no longer looking for isolated point products. They need practical protection across identity, endpoint, network, cloud, SaaS, branch security, detection and response, while resellers are under growing pressure to advise across all of it with limited specialist capacity.
\nRecent industry research underlines the urgency. Verizon\u2019s 2026 Data Breach Investigations Report notes that 31% of breaches now start with software vulnerabilities, while ransomware is involved in 48% of breaches. IBM\u2019s 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report places the global average cost of a breach at USD 4.44 million, reinforcing the need for faster detection, stronger response, and more resilient security architectures.
\nGraham Duxbury, CEO of Duxbury Networking, says the change is deliberate.
\n\u201cCybersecurity is no longer a single-vendor conversation,\u201d says Duxbury. \u201cCustomer risk is broader, attack surfaces are more complex, and resellers need a portfolio that reflects that reality. Our role is to give partners practical, credible security options they can position with confidence.\u201d
\nAs part of the repositioning, Duxbury Networking has added WatchGuard and Cynet to its cybersecurity strategy. Each addition plays a different role within the broader Duxbury Cybersecurity model while complementing Duxbury\u2019s existing cybersecurity vendors.
\nWatchGuard gives Duxbury\u2019s partners a unified, cloud-managed platform across firewall, endpoint security, MFA, SASE, and XDR, helping customers reduce tool sprawl and simplify security operations.
\nCynet deepens Duxbury\u2019s security operations coverage, combining prevention, detection, response, and 24\/7 MDR in a single platform for customers who need stronger SOC capability without stitching together multiple tools.
\nTogether with existing vendors including HPE Networking, Extreme Networks, Armis, and Versa, the expanded portfolio gives partners broader coverage across identity and access, endpoint security, XDR and MDR, firewall and branch security, segmentation, SASE, email, web and SaaS security, OT and IoT visibility, and cloud and hybrid protection.
\nAndy Robb, technical officer at Duxbury Networking, says the expanded portfolio is about matching customer risk to the right control layer, rather than leading with the same product for every opportunity.
\n\u201cThe question is no longer which product to lead with. The real question is where the customer is exposed. Some customers need to close an identity gap or refresh a firewall. Others need better monitoring, fewer disconnected tools, or incident response capability. Duxbury Cybersecurity gives partners a structured way to match the right control to the real risk.\u201d
\nFor the channel, this is about more than adding logos. It gives resellers and MSPs a clearer way to turn customer risk into practical security opportunities, from assessment and control selection to managed services and response.
\nDuxbury is also providing vendor positioning, technical guidance, customer scenario mapping, and one-on-one portfolio sessions. This is particularly relevant for mid-market customers and managed service providers, where security expectations are rising faster than internal resources. Resellers that can show customers which controls matter first will be better positioned to win trust and expand opportunities.
\n\u201cCustomers do not only need more security products. They need fewer gaps between the products they already use, clearer visibility across their environment, and a response model that works when something goes wrong. That is where a structured portfolio matters,\u201d adds Robb.
\n\u201cCybersecurity remains one of the biggest growth opportunities in the channel, but only for partners that can simplify complexity for customers. That is why our focus is on helping resellers turn customer risk into clearer, more actionable security conversations,\u201d concludes Duxbury.<\/p>\n
