WatchGuard EPDR (Endpoint Protection Detection and Response) merges traditional endpoint protection (EPP) with advanced endpoint detection and response (EDR) capabilities into a single, easy-to-manage solution. It provides comprehensive security against sophisticated threats by continuously monitoring endpoints, classifying all activity, and proactively discovering new attack techniques. Delivered via WatchGuard Cloud, EPDR offers centralized management and visibility across the Unified Security Platform.

Features

• Continuous Monitoring & EDR: Prevents execution of unknown processes and monitors endpoint activity.
• Automatic Detection & Response: Targets in-memory exploits and advanced attacks.
• Zero-Trust Application Service: Classifies all processes as trusted or malware before execution.
• Threat Hunting Service: Delivered by cybersecurity experts using MITRE ATT&CK™ framework.
• Behavioral Analysis: Detects indicators of attack (IoAs) in scripts, macros, and more.
• Endpoint Protection Tools: Includes URL filtering, device control, IDS, managed firewall.
• Cloud-Based Console: Lightweight agent with detailed reporting and centralized management.
• Vulnerability Assessment Tool: Identifies and prioritizes security weaknesses before exploitation.

Benefits

• Comprehensive Threat Protection: Defends against APTs, ransomware, phishing, rootkits, and malware-less attacks.
• Zero-Trust Confidence: AI classifies 99.98% of processes, with manual review for the rest—ensuring 100% classification accuracy.
• Proactive Threat Hunting: Reduces mean time to detect/respond (MTTD/MTTR) and delivers actionable mitigation strategies.
• Unified Security Management: Integrates with WatchGuard Cloud for seamless network and endpoint defense.
• Operational Efficiency: Simplifies security operations and empowers teams to respond faster to threats.
• Future-Proof Security Posture: Enables early vulnerability detection and continuous improvement of defenses.
