24/7 Detection and Response Without the Overhead

Harnessing the MDR Potential

WatchGuard Managed Detection & Response (MDR) offers a 24/7 managed service covering monitoring, threat detection, investigation, instant response, and threat hunting, all under cybersecurity expert management.

Extending Your Security Team Around the Clock

As the cyber threat landscape continues to expand and grow in sophistication, companies struggle with serious security risks, inefficient cybersecurity posture management, and a scarcity of skilled personnel. So, companies are looking to outsource their protection to managed service providers (MSPs) with the technology, staff, and expertise to address these challenges.

However, managing complex security challenges and the expanding threat surface most companies face today requires skilled people and a lot of investment, making it difficult for MSPs to offer managed detection and response (MDR) services in an effective, economical manner. That’s why WatchGuard introduced WatchGuard MDR, a managed service that helps security service providers overcome these problems. By leveraging our thorough detection and response service in their offering, MSPs can meet customers’ needs without the overhead of building and maintaining their own 24/7, in-house security operations center (SOC).
