WatchGuard Updates Detection and Automatic Remediation Capabilities with Next-Generation SandboxingSEATTLE, Sept. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- WatchGuard® Technologies, a leader in advanced network security solutions, today announced feature updates to its cloud-based Threat Detection and Response (TDR) service for small and midsize businesses (SMBs), distributed enterprises, and managed security service providers (MSSPs). The service correlates network and endpoint security events with threat intelligence to detect, prioritize and enable immediate action to stop malware attacks. TDR Version 5.1 introduces a direct integration between endpoint Host Sensors and APT Blocker, WatchGuard's next-generation cloud sandbox solution. This extends the power of APT Blocker to endpoints, regardless of being on or off the corporate network. This allows IT administrators and MSSPs to automatically analyze suspicious endpoint files within the cloud sandbox to identify behaviors associated with persistent threats, zero day attacks and evasive malware, for fast and confident endpoint threat remediation. "Since we launched TDR, it's been the only solution out there that combines the power of complete Unified Threat Management (UTM) network security services with endpoint detection and response capabilities," said Andrew Young, SVP of product management at WatchGuard. "We've taken that a step further with our latest updates to TDR, extending APT Blocker's advanced sandboxing capabilities from the network to the endpoint. Now, users can automatically place a potentially dangerous endpoint file under the microscope to observe its behavioral characteristics and objectives, and respond accordingly." TDR combines several key elements to enable users to better detect and remediate evasive threats both inside their networks and on their endpoints:
A completely cloud-based solution, TDR's centrally managed, intuitive interface enables partners to service countless subscriptions without spending as much time at customer sites for new deployments or troubleshooting exercises. With TDR, included in WatchGuard's Total Security Suite, MSSPs can further differentiate themselves from the competition, win more business, and build an additional recurring revenue stream by monetizing continuous, more advanced detection and response services; all with one SKU and one license. Threat Detection and Response Service is now available as part of the WatchGuard Total Security Suite. Host sensor licenses vary based on the Firebox model, and additional sensor packages are available as an add-on offer. For more information, visit www.watchguard.com/TDR. ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
