Compare WatchGuard EDPR vs. WatchGuard Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP)

WatchGuard EPDR combines our Endpoint Protection (EPP) and Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) functionalities into a single, user-friendly product designed to provide optimal defense against advanced endpoint threats. This solution merges traditional, signature-based approaches with cutting-edge features and services, resulting in a distinctive and all-encompassing offering. By facilitating ongoing monitoring of endpoints, along with the detection and classification of all activities, we can identify and thwart unusual behaviors exhibited by users, machines, and processes. Simultaneously, we actively seek out emerging hacking techniques and evasion strategies, equipping our customers with the tools they need to stay ahead of potential threats. Notably, these enhancements come at no additional cost, seamlessly integrating an extra layer of intelligent protection to outpace attackers. With EDR, we ensure continuous monitoring that effectively prevents the execution of unknown processes, while also providing automatic detection and rapid response to targeted attacks and in-memory exploits, thus fortifying overall security. This comprehensive approach not only enhances defense mechanisms but also fosters greater confidence among users in their endpoint security.

The WatchGuard EPP solution transcends traditional signature-based antivirus measures by effectively thwarting malware, ransomware, and threats that exploit unknown zero-day vulnerabilities. Notably, it operates through an easy-to-use cloud-based console paired with a lightweight agent that ensures optimal endpoint performance without disruption. WatchGuard EPP safeguards against viruses, malware, spyware, and phishing attempts, employing a robust array of security strategies that include signatures, local caching, and proprietary intelligence feeds sourced from previously identified malware through our EDR products. This multifaceted approach allows for the detection of zero-day exploits by leveraging behavioral heuristics alongside established indicators of attacks as “contextual rules.” Furthermore, WatchGuard EPP consolidates next-generation antivirus protection across all your Windows, macOS, and Linux desktops, laptops, and servers, while also supporting leading virtualization environments, making it a versatile choice for comprehensive endpoint security. The integration of these advanced features ensures that your organization's digital assets remain protected in an ever-evolving threat landscape.
