WatchGuard Zero Trust Security

Overview

WatchGuard’s Zero Trust Security solution provides Strong Authentication - The first principle in eliminating implicit or inherited trust starts with verification. Adopting multi-factor authentication (MFA) is the first step to defending against credentials-based threats and protecting workforce identities. Enable Access Segmentation and Risk Policies - AuthPoint identity security goes beyond static authentication and offers risk-based policy management to segment users and assets so that you can grant permission, restrictions, and verification requirements according to the user profile. Provide AI-Based Real-Time Monitoring - WatchGuard’s Zero-Trust Application Service discovers new, zero-day malware and addresses device compliance by automatically classifying applications as either malware or as trusted and then only lets trusted applications execute on each endpoint. Realize eXtended Detection and Response (XDR) - XDR unifies security capabilities to prevent potentially infected machines from introducing malware to the broader network. WatchGuard integrates endpoint and network telemetry in the cloud, correlating data to detect and respond to threats that would otherwise be missed in isolation. Secure Every Connection - FireCloud extends zero trust segmentation beyond the corporate network, applying consistent controls to every remote user. By delivering Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Firewall as a Service (FWaaS), Secure Web Gateway (SWG), and VPN protections, FireCloud protects each remote connection as if it originates from within your enterprise firewall. Automate and Increased Visibility - Automation streamlines everything from antivirus updates and patch management to anomaly detection and alerts. Professional services automation (PSA) tools and tight integration with remote monitoring and management (RMM) tools allow for more rapid response to support requests.
