FIPS
I need to turn on FIPS but the information is very confusing. They say its supported and yet also say its not with the latest updates. Here is where I am getting this info.
https://www.watchguard.com/help/docs/help-center/en-US/Content/en-US/Fireware/overview/fireware/fips_about_c.html
They say in some versions its not available. Example:
FIPS mode is not available in Fireware v12.5.9 Update 2 and higher or Fireware v12.7.2 Update 2 or higher.
Does that mean Updates higher than 2 or are they referring to Fireware 12.6 or 12.8. Confusing when they add the "and higher".

These are versions which address Cyclops Blink.
Review this article:

No FIPS since 12.3.1. This could be a problem. Between this, the WIFI costing too much, and still no forum dealing with EPDR, I am starting to think moving away from WatchGuard totally could be a possibility and I really don't want to do that. Thanks for the info.
I stand corrected, I now see a EPDR Forum section.
