Overview
WatchGuard Endpoint Security blocks ransomware, zero-day and fileless attacks and is sold in four tiers: Basic, Prime, 360 and Elite[12]. All tiers include attack surface reduction, malware and ransomware protection and AI-based behavioural detections. Higher tiers add anti-exploit detection, endpoint isolation and response, MITRE ATT&CK-mapped alerts with root-cause analysis, ThreatSync XDR remediation and compatibility with WatchGuard’s MDR service; the top tiers add a zero-trust application service and lateral-movement detection, and Elite adds advanced investigation tools[12]. Add-on modules provide patch management, deeper visibility and data protection. The main reason to choose WatchGuard is integration with its Firebox firewalls through ThreatSync, which lets endpoint and network detections trigger joint responses, and a strong MSP channel. The tier comparison on the product page is not fully labelled, and no prices are shown, so buyers should obtain a written tier matrix[12].
