WatchGuard EndPoint Protection

WatchGuard’s recommended Endpoint Protection comprises of two main products
EPDR (EDR&EPP combined)& Advanced EPDR

Managed Detection and Response (MDR) solutions are also availible.

WatchGuard Endpoint Detection and Response (EPDR)

WatchGuard Endpoint Security eliminates the need for multiple disconnected tools by delivering comprehensive protection through one unified platform.

EPDR delivers advanced, automated endpoint security for modern businesses. It combines prevention, detection, and response into a single, cloud-managed solution to protect computers, laptops, and servers against today’s most sophisticated cyber threats.

Built by WatchGuard Technologies, EPDR goes beyond traditional antivirus by using AI-driven analysis and a zero-trust application model to stop threats before they can cause damage.

Why Choose EPDR?

Advanced Threat Prevention

  • Blocks malware, ransomware, fileless attacks, and zero-day threats
  • Uses AI and behavioural analysis to detect unknown threats
  • Prevents suspicious applications from running by default

Zero-Trust Application Control

  • Every application is verified before execution. Unknown or untrusted programs are automatically blocked, reducing the risk of compromise.

Automated Detection & Response

  • If a threat is detected, EPDR automatically investigates and responds — minimising impact and reducing manual workload for IT teams.

Expert Threat Hunting

  • Security specialists continuously analyse emerging threats and improve detection capabilities, providing an additional layer of protection.

Cloud-Based Management

Managed through WatchGuard Cloud, EPDR provides:

  • Centralised visibility across all endpoints
  • Real-time alerts and reporting
  • Simple deployment and policy management
  • Integration with other WatchGuard security solutions

Key Benefits

  • Stronger protection against advanced and unknown threats
  • Reduced IT overhead through automation
  • Complete visibility across all devices
  • Scalable security for growing organisations

Simple, Powerful Endpoint Security

EPDR acts as a proactive defence system for your organisation — preventing attacks, detecting suspicious activity early, and responding automatically to keep your business secure.

WatchGuard Advanced Endpoint Detection and Response (Advanced EPDR)

Advanced EPDR is a powerful, cloud-managed endpoint security solution built by WatchGuard Technologies. It extends the capabilities of standard EPDR to help mature security teams detect, investigate, and respond to sophisticated cyber threats faster and more effectively.

What Makes Advanced EPDR Special

Advanced EPDR includes all the core protections of EPDR, such as AI-driven threat prevention and detection, zero-trust application control, and behavioural monitoring — but adds deeper capabilities designed for proactive security operations.

Smarter Detection

  • Uses self-learning AI to detect malware, ransomware, fileless attacks, and stealthy techniques.
  • Correlates security signals into contextual incidents to reduce noise and clarify what happened.

Rich Endpoint Telemetry

  • Provides detailed event data and insights mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
  • Improves visibility into attack stages and threat behaviour.

Contextual and Proactive Hunting

  • Combines IOC (Indicator of Compromise) and IOA (Indicator of Attack) detection for deeper attack discovery.
  • Supports  STIX (Structured Threat Information Expression) and YARA (Yet Another Recursive Acronym) rules for advanced searches across endpoints.

Built-In Response Tools

  • Includes a cloud-based Remote Shell tool to investigate, contain, and remediate threats directly on compromised devices.

Cloud-Based Management

  • Managed through the WatchGuard Cloud console for unified visibility, automation, and control.

Designed for Security Operations

  • Advanced EPDR is ideal for security teams that need more than basic protection — it helps you streamline incident investigation, reduce alert fatigue, and strengthen your overall security stance by turning raw telemetry into actionable insights

How It Compares

Advanced EPDR builds on the capabilities of WatchGuard’s other endpoint products by adding:

  • Automated incident reconstruction
  • Natural-language telemetry queries
  • Enhanced behaviour analytics
  • Contextual attack investigation and remote response tools

Compare WatchGuard Endpoint Options

Along with WatchGuard’s EDP, EPDR & Advance EPDR there are Managed Detection and Response solutions (MDR) which are outlined in the MDR Table below, if you would like more information on this we can arrange a call with a WatchGuard representitive to go through these options with you.
