WatchGuard Endpoint Security - AI-Powered EDR Platform

Traditional antivirus is no longer enough. WatchGuard Endpoint Security blocks ransomware, zero-day, and fileless attacks that evade traditional controls while cutting alert noise. Managed from a single cloud-based console, it scales with multi-tenant management that supports growth without increasing effort. Trusted by more than 25,000 MSPs protecting over 1.5 million customers worldwide, WatchGuard delivers proven endpoint protection at enterprise scale.

A free trial is available directly through AWS Marketplace so you can evaluate the platform in your own environment.

WatchGuard Endpoint Security Basic (EPP) Foundational endpoint protection that reduces the attack surface and defends against known and unknown malware, including ransomware. Includes antivirus, firewall, device control, URL filtering, and AI-powered behavioral threat detections.

WatchGuard Endpoint Security Prime (EPDR) Automates prevention, detection, containment, and response with two built-in services: the Zero-Trust Application Service, which classifies 100% of processes before they run and denies execution until certified as trusted, and the Threat Hunting Service for detecting compromised endpoints and early-stage attacks. Includes anti-exploit detections, endpoint isolation and response, MITRE ATT&CK-mapped alerts with root cause analysis, ThreatSync XDR remediations, lateral movement detection and containment, and compatibility with WatchGuard's MDR service.

WatchGuard Endpoint Security 360 Builds on Prime with the Zero-Trust Application Service and Threat Hunting Service, adding lateral movement detection and containment for organizations that need broader automated protection across their environment.

WatchGuard Endpoint Security Elite (Advanced EPDR) Designed for security operations teams and MSSPs requiring deep visibility and advanced investigation. Extends Prime and 360 capabilities with enriched forensic telemetry, extended data retention, STIX and YARA-based threat detection, a generative AI assistant for natural-language queries, remote shell access for reduced mean time to response, and advanced investigation tools including CAPA file analysis.

• Attack Surface Reduction: Customizable endpoint risk dashboard, unmanaged endpoint detection, and vulnerability assessment
• Multi-Vector Prevention: Protection across web, email, network, and device attack vectors using signature files, heuristics, collective intelligence, and AI-powered detections
• Continuous Monitoring: Self-learning AI with contextual behavioral analytics to detect and block fileless and living-off-the-land (LotL) attacks
• Anti-Exploit Technology: Automatically blocks attempts to exploit vulnerabilities in active processes
• Network Attack Protection: Defends against vulnerabilities in Internet-exposed services and automated RDP attacks
• Encrypted File Recovery: Shadow copy support for ransomware recovery

• ThreatSync XDR: Cross-product detection and response remediations available in Prime, 360, and Elite tiers for unified visibility across your security stack
• MDR Service Compatibility: Extend endpoint protection with 24/7 threat monitoring and investigation by WatchGuard's security experts (Prime, 360, and Elite)
• MITRE ATT&CK Framework: Alerts automatically mapped to MITRE ATT&CK tactics, techniques, and procedures for standardized threat classification
• SIEM Integration: Connect endpoint telemetry to your existing security information and event management platform

WatchGuard implements six defense layers working in concert at the endpoint:

1. Enhanced security policies to detect or block common attack techniques
2. Signature files, heuristics, and STIX IoC search engine
3. Contextual detections for malwareless attacks abusing legitimate tools like PowerShell and WMI
4. Anti-exploit technology for fileless attacks
5. Zero-Trust Application Service classifying 100% of processes before execution
6. Integrated Threat Hunting Service detecting IoAs and early-stage attacks

Organizations with remote and hybrid workforces face expanded attack surfaces across diverse devices and networks. WatchGuard Endpoint Security deploys a single lightweight agent across Windows (Intel and ARM), macOS (Intel and ARM), Linux, iOS, and Android endpoints. Security teams manage policies, monitor threats, and respond to incidents from the centralized cloud console - regardless of where endpoints are located. For organizations with mature SOC teams, the Elite tier provides remote shell access to investigate and contain threats on any endpoint directly from the web console.
