WatchGuard Technologies, a global leader in unified cybersecurity for managed service providers (MSPs), announced WatchGuard Total MDR, a fully integrated, AI-powered managed detection and response (MDR) service. It delivers enterprise-grade security, specifically for WatchGuard endpoint, identity, network, and third-party Cloud applications, allowing partners to detect complex attacks and respond quickly, all from one platform. Total MDR minimizes noise, saves time, and shows MSPs a clearer view of threats while actively stopping attacks across the entire WatchGuard environment.
As organizations adopt cloud-first models, their cybersecurity needs are mounting, confronting increasingly sophisticated, multi-vector threats that traditional detection methods are too slow and reactive to catch. This leads to a higher risk of breaches, escalating recovery costs, and increased pressure on their already limited IT teams, jeopardizing their business and reputation. WatchGuard Total MDR addresses these challenges with its 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC) team, powered by AI and expert threat hunters. Total MDR reduces detection and response times to an average of six minutes—an 80% decrease from the industry average of 30 minutes—with fewer than one false positive per month on average compared to the typical 250+ false positives a month. Total MDR streamlines operations, including the onboarding process, lowers costs, and ensures partners deliver measurable cybersecurity outcomes across hybrid ecosystems.

“WatchGuard Total MDR leverages the WatchGuard product stack to proactively stop threats that traditional tools often miss, a critical advantage for MSPs who struggle with the time-consuming and error-prone process of responding to attacks across disparate portals and vendors,” said Andrew Young, Chief Product Officer at WatchGuard. “A single-pane-of-glass view is game-changing for partners. Whether it involves blocking risky logins, isolating compromised devices, or halting suspicious network traffic, Total MDR allows MSPs to spend less time navigating different tools and more time enhancing their security posture.”
“The cybersecurity threat landscape is only becoming more advanced, creating gaps and concerns about potential vulnerabilities to rapid attacks. Standard SOC offerings are usually tailored for large enterprises and are not a fit for the economic reality of small businesses (SMBs),” said Julien Perret, Founder of Eiffie. “WatchGuard Total MDR is not only important for our clients, but it’s imperative as it acts as a customized virtual SOC, providing continuous threat intelligence, strategic guidance, and escalation support, enabling us to proactively defend against adversaries and attacks at an optimized cost.”
