How MDR Improves Your Security
Learn how MDR protects your environment, what sets it apart from other security tools, and what WatchGuard includes as part of the service.
WatchGuard MDR Gives You Powerful Features
24/7 Monitoring and Response
A global SOC investigates alerts, confirms real threats, and responds within minutes using automation and human expertise.
Proactive Threat Hunting
Analysts search for stealthy or emerging threats that security tools may miss, identifying indicators of compromise and preventing repeat incidents.
Immediate Threat Containment
Critical threats are isolated and stopped quickly so they can’t spread.
Rapid Onboarding and Simple Scalability
Get protected in hours and scale coverage easily across hybrid or multi-tool environments.
Unified Portal Visibility
A single WatchGuard managed services portal provides real-time insights, incident timelines, and proof-of-protection reports for compliance and cyber insurance needs.
Flexible Integration and Coverage
Works across WatchGuard and third-party tools, including Microsoft Defender, CrowdStrike, Okta, and leading firewalls, to meet you where you are without tool migration.
Technical Account Manager (TAM)
An expert who interprets SOC activity, delivers regular security reviews, and helps you demonstrate value to stakeholders.
Discover the Platform Advantage
WatchGuard MDR uses one platform for endpoint, identity, cloud, and network activity, so everything shows up in one place. The WatchGuard Platform makes deployment and operations easier while improving coverage across your threat surface. This reduces cost, lowers risk, and helps stop advanced attacks early.
MDR That Fits Your Tech Stack
Your security journey is unique – and our MDR meets you where you are. Choose from Core MDR for endpoint focused defense, Total MDR for full WatchGuard stack coverage, or Open MDR to extend detection and response to third-party endpoint, identity, and firewall technologies. Scale at your pace while staying protected.
