Shift from Security Management to Security Operations
WatchGuard Advanced EPDR builds on standard EPDR with features for mature security teams that want to stay ahead of sophisticated threats. It combines self-learning, AI-powered agents with security signal correlation into incidents to detect and block both known and unknown attacks efficiently.
Close Security Gaps, Stay Ahead of Threats
Today's threat techniques are highly sophisticated and continuously evolving. Simple yet efficient hygiene practices can mean the difference between a minor security operation and becoming a victim. These practices range from reducing the attack surface of the endpoints to uncovering emerging campaigns lurking on the network before an actual compromise.
Smarter, Faster Security Operations
WatchGuard Advanced EPDR empowers security teams to operate more efficiently with self-learning AI analytics that detect malware, ransomware, fileless, and script-based attacks. Automated incident reconstruction correlates security signals, reduces alert noise, and provides clearer attack stories, while the GenAI Assistant simplifies telemetry exploration with natural language queries, all from a single cloud-based console.
Advanced Endpoint Telemetry and MITRE ATT&CK Mapping
Security analysts gain access to enriched telemetry, including IoAs, extended events, CAPA tool insights, threat intelligence, and attack graphs. All this data is meticulously mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework and enriched by AI-powered correlation that transforms multiple alerts into a single, contextual incident, making analysis faster, clearer, and more actionable.
Centralized Hunting and Endpoint Hardening
WatchGuard Advanced EPDR empowers security teams to work smarter by unifying IoC-based hunting and proactive endpoint hardening. From a single console, analysts can quickly uncover compromised endpoints, block stealthy living-off-the-land techniques, and reduce the attack surface, improving efficiency and accelerating response.
Remotely Investigate and Remediate an Incident
Real-Time Remote Shell is a powerful tool that allows you to access endpoints from the cloud console, without requiring physical access to the endpoints for investigation, containment, and remediation actions including command line operations to manage processes and services, and transfer files, scripts, etc.
