Dolos and WatchGuard Present the Refreshed Endpoint Security Portfolio for Africa

Dolos, master distributor for WatchGuard Technologies in Africa, recently announced the availability of the new Endpoint Security Portfolio designed to disrupt the traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) licensing model. As a recent exhibitor at the 2026 ITWeb Security Summit, the Dolos team engaged with attendees in person, showcasing its advanced endpoint security solutions.

This new tiered offering includes enterprise-grade features typically licensed as add-ons from other vendors – such as AI-powered security, proactive vulnerability management and URL filtering – without the cost and complexity required to enable these features in other products. This release brings together stronger detection, automated response, and seamless upgrades, allowing MSPs to scale efficiently.

“Our partners operate in some of the most demanding and resource-constrained environments in the world, and they need security that performs without the bloated licensing and hidden costs the market has come to accept. This portfolio is built for the way organisations across Africa actually work – accessible, scalable, and powerful out of the box. That’s the standard we’re setting with WatchGuard”, says Dominic Richardson, CEO of Dolos.

Designed for MSPs and IT teams managing growing security demands with limited resources, the platform leverages a single agent and management console to simplify deployment, reduce workload, and make advanced protection accessible to organisations of any size.

“EDR solutions gained traction a decade ago by delivering greater visibility and introducing new AI-driven detection techniques. Years later, many vendors have made minimal product advancements while continuing to charge premium prices for excessive, inflexible cloud storage and table stakes features like vulnerability scanning and URL filtering, offering little value for the money. We’re changing that”, says Adam Winston, VP of Endpoint Security and MDR at WatchGuard.

The updated portfolio brings clearer naming, a simplified product ladder, and a brand-new offering that changes the way resellers sell endpoint security:

1. WatchGuard Endpoint Security Basic offers AI-powered endpoint protection that prevents attacks, blocks ransomware, and reduces exposure, all without the high complexity or cost.
2. Endpoint Security Prime delivers full AI-powered EDR — advanced threat detection, anti-exploit protection, attack surface reduction, behavioural analytics, MITRE ATT&CK mapping, and automated response. It sits between Endpoint Security Basic and Endpoint Security 360, and it’s designed for customers who need real EDR protection but have been priced out of it.
3. WatchGuard Endpoint Security 360 is an autonomous, Zero-Trust Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solution. It is designed to block unknown applications, prevent lateral movement, and continuously monitor trusted applications for signs of compromise – all with a very low alert volume to maximise efficiency.
4. WatchGuard Endpoint Security Elite delivers full-fidelity EDR with deep telemetry, high-confidence detections, and investigation-grade tools to maximise analyst efficiency and enable MSPs to deliver high-value security services at scale.
