WatchGuard ThreatSync®

Accessing the XDR realm

Why Choose XDR?

Sophisticated threats can come from anywhere, at any time, and cripple your business before you find any indication of a breach. Enterprises are struggling to keep up with the rapidly expanding and increasingly complex threat surface. In today’s hybrid world, IT security teams are operating across more environments, and supporting more users and devices than ever before. Each of these attack vectors comes with a unique set of risks and vulnerabilities that require specialized security solutions. A fragmented collection of security products simply can’t address these security challenges at scale. Extended detection and response (XDR) is the answer. XDR offerings combine threat intelligence from a single security platform to deliver a unified security operations system capable of detecting and responding to incidents across domains and environments. The key to true XDR is combining data from multiple security components to amplify detection with centralized incident response capabilities. With XDR, you can minimize visibility gaps, alert fatigue and staffing challenges, while improving productivity, detection and response times, and ultimately, the overall strength and efficacy of your security posture.

Benefits Of XDR

Cross-Platform Threat Detection

The solution provides extended detection capabilities by consuming and correlating indicators of compromise (IoCs) from all WatchGuard security products. This cross-domain, combined context, and correlation enables ThreatSync to detect and score potentially malicious activities related to specific environments, users, and devices to reduce mean time to detect (MTTD), improve accuracy, and ultimately enable faster remediation.

Unified Security Orchestration and Threat Response

When security and IT administrators have a holistic view of their threat surface, it is easy to triage and respond with speed and confidence. ThreatSync enables IT security admins to work more efficiently with intelligent alert scoring, automated remediation policies, and options for manual intervention as needed. This level of threat response orchestration elevates both scale and accuracy for security teams.

Simple to Deploy and Manage

WatchGuard ThreatSync makes adopting an XDR approach easy for a time- and skills-strapped market with its intuitive Cloud-based management and automation capabilities. As the powerful XDR layer within WatchGuard’s Unified Security Platform® architecture, ThreatSync integrates cross-product intelligence to reduce the costs and management burdens of deploying multiple-point solutions for threat detection and response.
