WatchGuard EPDR

WatchGuard EPDR is the former name of WatchGuard Endpoint Security 360. It provides cloud-managed endpoint protection, detection and response through WatchGuard Cloud.

The product protects Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS and Android endpoints. Its capabilities include malware prevention, ransomware protection, behavioral detection, automated response and zero-trust application control.

WatchGuard positions the product for organizations and service providers that need centralized endpoint administration. Endpoints can also send security data to ThreatSync for cross-product detection and response.

WatchGuard Endpoint Security 360 combines prevention, detection and response capabilities in one endpoint platform.

• AI-powered behavioral threat detection for known, unknown, fileless and malwareless attacks.
• Zero-Trust Application Service that validates applications and processes before execution.
• Protection against malware, ransomware, exploits and suspicious application behavior.
• Endpoint isolation and automated response actions through the WatchGuard security platform.
• Lateral movement detection and containment between endpoints.
• Threat Hunting Service for identifying anomalous use of trusted applications.
• Centralized management through WatchGuard Cloud.
• ThreatSync support for cross-product detection and response.
• Optional modules for patch management, full-disk encryption, SIEMFeeder and advanced reporting.

WatchGuard does not publish a standard public list price for Endpoint Security 360. Licensing is priced per endpoint through WatchGuard partners and service-provider channels.

WatchGuard offers a 30-day trial for Endpoint Security products. The public trial page states that the trial supports up to 250 users, while WatchGuard Cloud documentation describes endpoint trial limits based on existing account licenses.
