Panda Cloud Systems Management 13.4.0: new features and key improvements

We’re excited to announce WatchGuard Endpoint Security for Servers, a new infrastructure protection solution available globally. Endpoint Security for Servers brings advanced, resource-aware protection to the most critical systems in your customers’ environments. Designed specifically for server workloads, this new solution provides dedicated defenses that maintain uptime, minimize performance impact, and meet modern compliance standards.

Key Highlights

• Purpose-built protection for Windows and Linux servers: Engineered for physical, virtual, and cloud workloads with persistent protection for mission-critical systems.
• AI-driven behavioral analysis and exploit prevention: Uses machine learning and behavior analytics to block ransomware, exploits, and fileless attacks in real time.
• Zero Day Vulnerability Protection: Zero-Trust Application Service blocks all unverified processes before they run, using a deny-by-default model backed by AI and global threat intelligence.
• Lightweight, resource-aware agents optimized for server performance: Minimal CPU and memory use ensures uptime and stability for critical workloads.
• Unified management with endpoint protection in WatchGuard Cloud: Manage endpoint and server protection from WatchGuard Cloud with shared policies and reporting.

What it Means for You

Servers remain one of the highest-value targets for attackers. WatchGuard Endpoint Security for Servers is resource-aware by design, using lightweight agents that deliver robust protection without disrupting business-critical processes. Advanced exploit prevention, vulnerability management, and behavioral detection work together to protect Windows and Linux servers, whether running on-premises or in virtual and cloud environments.

With this release, you can deliver consistent, enterprise-grade protection across endpoints and servers, simplifying management while expanding managed service opportunities.

We’re excited to offer an Early Access Program for our newest endpoint solution, WatchGuard Endpoint Security Prime. This Early Access Program is available in North America (US and Canada) from October 1 to December 31, 2025.

What Is Endpoint Security Prime?

WatchGuard Endpoint Security Prime delivers advanced, AI-powered endpoint detection and response (EDR) in a single, streamlined solution at a price point competitive with basic next-generation antivirus (NGAV)-only solutions. This makes true endpoint defense accessible to every organization and helps organizations strengthen defenses without adding complexity or cost.

Traditional endpoint protection tools are built for yesterday’s attacks. Endpoint Security Prime raises the bar by unifying multiple capabilities into one lightweight, cloud-managed package:

• Next-Generation Antivirus (NGAV): Blocks known and emerging malware threats.
• Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR): Provides full visibility, automated response, and deep behavioral analysis.
• Attack Surface Reduction (ASR): Hardens devices by controlling access, blocking exploits, and reducing exposure.

It’s enterprise-grade protection that’s smarter, simpler, and accessible to every organization.

Why This Matters

Today’s threats are faster, more adaptive, and designed to evade prevention-based defenses. That’s why endpoint security needs to go beyond detection; it needs to predict, respond, and learn.

Endpoint Security Prime does exactly that by combining automation, continuous visibility, and self-learning AI to identify and stop attacks before they spread. Managed and deployed through WatchGuard Cloud, our new solution reduces overhead and gives teams confidence that every endpoint is protected without the cost or complexity of traditional enterprise tools.

Get Started

WatchGuard Endpoint Security Prime is available now in North America. Please contact your Channel Account Manager to learn more. 

WatchGuard Endpoint Security Release 18 is now available!

This release introduces features that enhance protection, expedite investigations, and streamline day-to-day operations. Here’s what’s new:

• Incident-centric investigations. Autonomous alert correlation consolidates scattered signals into a single incident and attack story, complete with a timeline and the who, what, where, when, why, and how, enabling analysts to investigate and respond more efficiently.
• Endpoint GenAI Assistant. Ask in natural language (any language). The assistant translates questions into optimized queries, runs them safely, and returns results in seconds, reducing training needs and accelerating investigations.
• Scripting policies (Advanced EPDR, Windows). Reduce script risk with top-down rules to monitor and allow or block scripts, applied sequentially like firewall rules.
• Zero-Trust Application Service Report. Make Zero Trust tangible by tracking metrics on unknown program classification, outcomes (including GW, PUPs, and malware), method (auto vs. analyst), time to classification, and malware details. Multi-tenant in Endpoint Manager starting Oct 2.
• Maintenance Windows for restarts. Schedule restart windows after patch tasks or protection updates across WatchGuard Endpoint Security products.
• Protection improvements and protocol support. AI-based enhancements improve detection of malicious scripts, MSI installers, and .NET runtime abuse on Windows. Web Access Control adds HTTP/3 (QUIC) on Windows and macOS.
• Endpoint Access Enforcement. Inbound peer connection blocking is now available in WatchGuard EDR and EPDR to help reduce lateral movement.
• macOS support. macOS Tahoe is supported from version 3.07.00.0000 (included in R18).
• Endpoint Manager in WatchGuard Cloud updates. Update product versions directly from Endpoint Manager. Account delegation now includes endpoint management (not just licenses), displays delegated accounts in the Service Provider tree, and enables Service Provider-level tasks and configurations to be applied to delegated accounts, depending on the setup.

We will continue adding capabilities that deliver simpler operations and stronger security.
