WatchGuard Technologies Threat Detection And Response

WatchGuard Technologies brought together its network and endpoint security portfolios with the January launch of its Threat Detection and Response solution. The new Threat Detection and Response (TDR) offering is an add-on subscription to the Seattle–based company's flagship Firebox appliance as part of the company's Total Security Suite package. The cloud-based service adds threat detection capabilities on the endpoint, which connect back into the network for remediation. WatchGuard has traditionally focused primarily on network security, but it said the TDR launch shows the company recognizes the importance of a "holistic view" when it comes to security. The launch comes after WatchGuard added a new Wi-Fi Cloud solution last year, with cloud-ready access points, built-in wireless security, and a management platform.
