Aether 14 and WG Cloud - New Endpoint Security Release
We are pleased to announce the availability of a new Endpoint Security release. With this release, we are adding some significant capabilities, among which one stands out in particular - Endpoint Risk Monitoring.
Why Risk Monitoring?
Cybersecurity incidents can have operational, financial, reputational, and strategic consequences for partners and customers. Security misconfigurations and software vulnerabilities often cause these risk incidents, leaving the door open for cybercriminals to exploit client protection weaknesses.
- Partners/MSPs
As many customers don’t have the time, enough skills, or sufficient resources to do it, it is essential for MSPs to provide health risk assessment as a service to add real value by providing risk monitoring in real time, decreasing the number of security risks and therefore reducing your customer attack surface.
Enabling MSPs with risk monitoring strengthens their managed security service delivery. With it, MSPs will discover vulnerabilities and security configuration weaknesses across endpoints in the customer infrastructure where WatchGuard Endpoint Security solutions are implemented. See what else Risk Monitoring can do for managed services by reading the feature brief.
- End Users
Security admins need to understand their cyber threat risk posture and reinforce security solution controls so they can prevent and minimize the chances of getting infected and disrupting their business.
With Endpoint Risk Monitoring, IT teams will manage and monitor unprotected endpoints, indicators of attack, security misconfigurations, OS and third-party software vulnerabilities, and missing patches to proactively safeguard their systems before a breach occurs. All our WatchGuard Endpoint Security solutions include risk monitoring capabilities to improve their security posture with actions that can be deployed in real time in a quick and easy way.
