Detection Efficiency + Prevention Efficiency

MITRE ATT&CK ER7 goes beyond detection and prevention coverage. It highlights how efficiently security platforms operate under real attack conditions, including alert volume, noise, and operational friction.

WatchGuard outperforms most endpoint providers by combining high attack visibility with low operational friction. It detects real attacks without burying security teams in nuisance alerts.

Ease of Operation

We’ve relied on WatchGuard’s endpoint security for years. ER7 simply confirms what we already knew: WatchGuard turns EDR from reactive to proactive. Anything unknown is untrusted. Every alert comes with the confidence that the response has already been initiated. No guesswork. 
Just better protection.
