Threat Response Actions in WatchGuard CloudDR

Applies To: WatchGuard CloudDR

CloudDR detects a wide range of security threats across supported cloud applications and provides built-in response actions to help security teams quickly mitigate risks. Each detected threat is mapped to:

  • Supported applications such as Microsoft 365, Okta, Google Workspace, and Atlassian.
  • Available response actions based on integration capabilities.

Depending on the integration, CloudDR can provide these response actions:

  • Report the Threat
  • Delete Actor's Account
  • Disable Actor's Account
  • Remove Privileged Access (Role Removal)
  • Revoke All Active Sessions

Not all actions are supported across all integrations. Availability depends on API capabilities and permissions.

Threat Response Support by Integration

Review this table to determine which threats are supported for each cloud integration, and what actions can be taken immediately.

You can then prioritize threats where automated remediation actions are available (for example, Microsoft 365, Atlassian). For integrations with limited actions such as Okta and Google, you can use the Report the Threat action to trigger a manual investigation or external workflow.
