WatchGuard Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)

AI-Powered EDR for Today’s Modern MSPs

Ransomware, zero-day exploits, and fileless attacks often start on endpoints, but traditional antivirus can’t keep up. Many enterprise EDR solutions add complexity, alert fatigue, and high costs for smaller teams. WatchGuard delivers prevention-first, AI-powered protection designed for MSPs and SMBs, ensuring strong security across every environment.

Understanding Endpoint Detection and Response

Learn how modern EDR helps MSPs and SMBs improve threat detection, automate response, and reduce operational overhead.

Endpoint detection and response (EDR) is a security approach that continuously monitors endpoint activity to detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats. It provides visibility into endpoint behavior, identifies suspicious activity, and enables automated containment to stop attacks before they spread.

Traditional endpoint protection, such as antivirus, focuses on preventing known threats, while modern EDR adds continuous monitoring, behavioral detection, and response capabilities. This allows organizations to detect unknown or advanced attacks, investigate incidents, and act even after a threat bypasses initial defenses.

MSPs should look for EDR solutions that reduce alert noise, automate detection and response, and support multi-tenant management with predictable costs. This enables efficient operations, faster response, and consistent protection across all customer environments.

Modern EDR improves security operations by correlating endpoint activity into a single view, automating investigation and response, and reducing the number of alerts analysts must review. This enables MSPs to respond faster, maintain consistent protection, and scale services without adding headcount.
