WatchGuard EPDR combines traditional endpoint protection (EPP) with advanced endpoint detection and response (EDR) in a single lightweight agent. Its Zero-Trust Application Service blocks every unknown process until it is classified by AI and human analysts, ensuring that only trusted software runs on your endpoints.

Zero-Trust Application Service denies execution of any unclassified application, 100% classification with no exceptions
Anti-exploit technology and fileless attack detection stop threats that bypass signature-based antivirus
Automated threat containment isolates compromised endpoints and blocks lateral movement across the network
Threat Hunting Service proactively identifies indicators of attack (IoAs) using behavioural analytics and MITRE ATT&CK mapping
Integrated patch management, full-disk encryption, and reporting add-ons from a single management console

Zero-Trust Application Service

Every process is classified before execution. Unknown applications are denied by default and sent for AI analysis, eliminating the window of exposure that traditional allowlisting leaves open.

Anti-Exploit Protection

Behavioural detection identifies exploitation techniques, buffer overflows, code injection, privilege escalation, regardless of the vulnerability being targeted.

Lateral Movement Containment

When a compromised endpoint is detected, EPDR automatically isolates it from the network and blocks communication with other devices to prevent spread.

Threat Hunting & IoA Detection

WatchGuard's threat hunting team continuously analyses endpoint telemetry to surface advanced indicators of attack that automated systems alone may miss.

Patch Management

Discover, prioritise, and deploy OS and third-party application patches from the same console. Reduce your attack surface by closing known vulnerabilities before they are exploited.

Full-Disk Encryption

Enforce BitLocker (Windows) and FileVault (macOS) encryption policies centrally. Monitor compliance status and manage recovery keys from WatchGuard Cloud.
