QKS Group announced today that it has named WatchGuard as a leader in the SPARK Matrix™: Network Detection & Response, 2025.
Mohnish Rathore, Analyst at QKS Group, states, "The WatchGuard ThreatSync NDR solution provides continuous network monitoring that helps organizations quickly spot unusual or risky activity without needing complex setups. It uses smart AI technology to watch all network traffic, including encrypted flows, and alerts IT teams to potential threats with easy-to-understand risk scores. The solution is designed to work smoothly with existing security tools and makes responding to threats faster with policies and automation. “
The QKS Group SPARK Matrix™ includes a detailed analysis of the global market dynamics, major trends, vendor landscape, and competitive positioning. The study also provides a competitive analysis and ranking of the Network Detection & Response providers in the form of the SPARK Matrix™. The study also provides strategic information for users to evaluate different vendor capabilities, competitive differentiation, and market positions.
“Being named a leader in the SPARK Matrix validates our push to deliver enterprise-grade network detection and response without the complexity of traditional NDR,” said Andrew Young, Chief Product Officer at WatchGuard Technologies. “ThreatSync NDR’s cloud-native, AI-driven design gives midsize and small enterprises the visibility, speed, and protection to stop advanced threats like ransomware and supply chain attacks faster. It’s proof we’re redefining NDR for leaner teams without losing depth or speed.”
