New Features

Endpoint Management and Unified Agent Deployment in WatchGuard Cloud

The same WatchGuard Agent can now be installed on endpoints with a license for Endpoint Security products and modules, WatchGuard MDR, and FireCloud. The agent installs the appropriate software on the endpoint based on license availability and the configured installation behavior. The Configure > Agent Deployment page enables Service Providers to specify the agent installation behavior for each of their products. For more information, go to Configure Agent Deployment in Help Center.

In WatchGuard Cloud, the Monitor > Endpoints page lists all endpoints in the account that have the WatchGuard Agent installed. From the Endpoints page, you can see detailed information on the endpoint. For more information, go to Manage Endpoints in WatchGuard Cloud in Help Center.
