Managing security consistently across various organizations, ranging from distributed enterprises with multiple branch offices to small and midsize businesses (SMBs) with remote employees, can be quite challenging. For both SMBs and distributed enterprises, it is essential to maintain visibility into network and endpoint event data while also being able to efficiently utilize actionable insights to mitigate threats. The integration of ThreatSync, a vital element of Threat Detection and Response (TDR), plays a key role by gathering event data from the WatchGuard Firebox, Host Sensor, and advanced threat intelligence sources. This data is analyzed through a proprietary algorithm that assigns an in-depth threat score and rank, allowing organizations to prioritize their responses effectively. With its robust correlation engine, ThreatSync facilitates cloud-based threat prioritization, thereby equipping IT teams to address threats swiftly and with confidence. Ultimately, this system collects and correlates threat event data from both the Firebox and Host Sensor, enhancing the overall security posture of the organization.

WatchGuard DNSWatch is a cloud-based solution that enhances security through DNS-level filtering, which helps identify and prevent potentially harmful connections while safeguarding both networks and employees from destructive attacks. Critical alerts are analyzed by WatchGuard experts, who provide clear summaries that include in-depth information regarding any potential threats. In instances where phishing is involved and an employee inadvertently clicks a malicious link, DNSWatch swiftly redirects them away from the harmful site and supplies educational resources to bolster their understanding of phishing risks. Since hackers often exploit DNS to launch attacks on unaware targets, monitoring DNS requests proves to be an effective strategy for detecting and thwarting such threats. By incorporating DNS-level filtering into the Total Security Suite, DNSWatch adds an essential layer of protection against malware infections. Additionally, attempts made by users to connect to recognized malicious DNS addresses are automatically blocked, ensuring they are redirected to a secure landing page without any disruption to their experience. This proactive approach not only defends against immediate threats but also educates users, contributing to a more security-conscious workplace.
