About WatchGuard Technologies
WatchGuard Technologies sells a Unified Security Platform that combines network, endpoint, identity and cloud protection, purpose-built for MSPs servicing midsize companies and SMBs.[1][5][11]
WatchGuard unifies network, endpoint, identity and cloud protection under one agent, one console and one AI intelligence layer. Rai is WatchGuard's built-in artificial intelligence layer that automates threat detection, investigation and response across the platform. WatchGuard delivers its security to businesses exclusively through a global network of managed service provider and reseller partners. MSPs use the multi-tenant console in WatchGuard Cloud to deliver and manage security services for hundreds of customers at once. Businesses receive the same protection, configured and managed for them by a local WatchGuard partner.[5]
WatchGuard Cloud is built for MSPs and gives one place to deploy, standardize, monitor and report across all customers. ThreatSync XDR is part of WatchGuard Cloud and correlates activity across WatchGuard security layers. WatchGuard Cloud provides visibility, configuration control and real-time threat monitoring so MSPs can manage network security from anywhere with an Internet connection. FireCloud Total Access is managed through WatchGuard Cloud, with security policies that follow users across remote, cloud and on-premises environments. WatchGuard MDR adds expert-led threat detection, investigation and response to WatchGuard technologies.[7][8]
Firebox M Series rackmount appliances provide NGFW features. Firebox rackmount appliances integrate with WatchGuard Cloud and ThreatSync and offer centralized management and AI-powered XDR correlation. The Firebox M595 has capacity for up to 1,200 users and 4.8 Gbps HTTPS inspection.[9]
WatchGuard Endpoint Security scales with add-ons for additional visibility, automated patching and full-disk encryption. WatchGuard offers prevention-first, AI-powered EDR that scales from foundational protection to advanced threat investigation and response. WatchGuard security experts provide 24/7 threat monitoring and investigation to extend endpoint protection. WatchGuard Endpoint Security 360 is an autonomous zero trust endpoint detection and response solution that blocks unknown applications automatically and continuously monitors trusted applications for signs of compromise.[10][11]
WatchGuard AuthPoint provides cloud-based authentication and access to applications. AuthPoint MFA supports push, passkeys, TOTP, QR codes, hardware tokens and zero trust policies. Total Identity Security combines AuthPoint MFA with Dark Web Credential Monitoring. WatchGuard continuously monitors workforce user credentials across dark web, deep web and breach databases using AI-driven intelligence, and can alert affected end users directly. WatchGuard Cloud lets MSPs manage MFA and credential monitoring across customer accounts. The WatchGuard Zero Trust Bundle includes an identity component alongside Endpoint Security, FireCloud and ThreatSync XDR.[12][13]

WatchGuard describes the AP130 for small offices and branch locations, the AP230W for hospitality and in-room deployments, and the AP330 for retail, education and offices.
