Total MDR: Real-Time Security for the Whole Attack Surface
Most security tools generate alerts and leave the rest to you. Organizations are already drowning in noise, short on time, and stretched thin on security staff. WatchGuard Total MDR replaces noise with action by delivering the response your team doesn’t have time for.
This fully managed, 24/7 MDR service continuously monitors detections across your environment across endpoint, network, identity, and cloud to take real action when threats strike. Whether it’s isolating a compromised device, disabling a suspicious user account, or blocking malicious traffic, Total MDR doesn’t just notify you, it responds, fast.
One Platform. Full Coverage.
WatchGuard Total MDR is built on a natively integrated stack. In fact, out of more than 600 MDR vendors, only five offer a truly integrated security stack. That means endpoint, firewall, identity, network, and cloud security all work together giving full visibility and coordinated response from a single portal. Most MDR providers stitch together third-party tools, which can lead to patchy visibility, slower response, and complex licensing.
With WatchGuard Total MDR you get:
- Unified coverage across endpoint, network, identity, and cloud
- Onboarding in hours, not weeks
- Simple licensing
- Fewer than 1 false positive per month
- 6-minute average response time
- Auto-block threats in 10 milliseconds
What’s Protected, How to Stop Attacks
Modern attacks don’t stay in one place. Adversaries move laterally and can jump from device to device, escalating privileges, exploiting users, and hijacking cloud accounts. WatchGuard Total MDR helps you catch and contain these threats early by giving you control across every critical layer of your environment.
Endpoint
Attackers often start at the endpoint through phishing, malware, or drive-by downloads. Once in, they’ll try to escalate privileges, disable defenses, or move laterally to other systems.
Total MDR detects abnormal behaviors fast, such as credential theft or privilege abuse. It can:
- Isolate infected hosts to prevent lateral spread
- Kill malicious processes before they encrypt or exfiltrate data
- Run ad hoc scans to confirm clean-up
- Open live response sessions so analysts can investigate and act in real time
Network (Firebox + NDR)
If the endpoint is compromised, attackers often move through the network scanning for open ports, probing for vulnerable devices, or establishing command-and-control (C2) connections.
Total MDR monitors internal and external traffic, and can:
- Block malicious IPs or DNS traffic at the perimeter
- Shut down open or abused ports to stop lateral movement
- Detect unusual protocols or patterns that indicate stealthy activity
That means even if a threat bypasses the endpoint, you can still cut it off at the network layer.
Identity (AuthPoint)
Attackers use stolen credentials or try brute-force login attempts to gain access to internal systems and SaaS applications.
Total MDR defends against account-based attacks, using AuthPoint to:
- Detect and disable compromised accounts
- Spot login anomalies, like logins from unusual locations or devices
- Step up authentication or deny access based on risk
This stops attackers from impersonating users and gaining trusted access to sensitive systems.
Cloud (Microsoft 365, AWS, Google Workspace)
Once inside, attackers often pivot to cloud platforms attempting to access email, exfiltrating files, or creating new admin accounts to maintain persistence.
Total MDR connects directly to cloud APIs to:
- Revoke access to compromised accounts
- Reset credentials and remove malicious changes
- Contain threats in SaaS environments like 365, Google Workspace, and AWS CloudTrail
Why Total MDR Delivers More Than Just Alerts?
An alert at 3 a.m. is only useful if someone acts on it. With WatchGuard Total MDR, it’s our team that responds by analyzing, containing, and resolving threats in real time to keep your business protected around the clock.
Here’s what sets it apart:
- Real-time visibility: See threats and SOC activity in a single portal
- Faster response: Integrated tools and full-stack visibility mean threats are stopped in minutes, not hours. AI filters out the noise so you only get high-confidence alerts (fewer than 1 false positive per month).
- Expert support: Technical Account Managers provide ongoing threat insights, help with escalations, and guidance to improve your security posture.
- Broader coverage: Total MDR monitors and responds across endpoint, network, identity, and cloud catching threats others miss.
- More proactive: Learn from every investigation. Use insights and root cause analysis to strengthen policies and stay ahead of future attacks.
Security That Shows Up When It Counts
WatchGuard Total MDR delivers real-time detection and expert-led response across your entire environment, from endpoint to cloud. It brings together everything you already trust in the WatchGuard stack, adds automation and intelligence, and backs it with a team that acts when threats strike.
Whether you're concerned with ransomware, credential theft, or stealthy lateral movement, Total MDR helps you stop attacks faster, reduce risk, and simplify operations without adding to your workload. Security doesn’t need to be overwhelming. With WatchGuard Total MDR, it’s handled.
