Frequently Asked Questions

The Zero-Trust Application Service is WatchGuard's approach to preventing malware execution through 100% classification of all applications, programs, and executables. Unlike traditional antivirus that maintains a blocklist of known malware, the Zero-Trust Application Service uses a deny-by-default model where nothing runs until it is validated as trusted. WatchGuard's AI and global threat intelligence analyze every unknown application before allowing execution. This approach provides protection against zero-day vulnerabilities and unknown malware variants that would bypass signature-based detection, as unclassified code simply cannot run on protected endpoints.

About WatchGuard Security

WatchGuard provides comprehensive network and endpoint security solutions designed to protect organizations of all sizes from sophisticated cyber threats. The company's portfolio spans firewalls, endpoint protection, detection and response, multi-factor authentication, and secure Wi-Fi—all managed through a unified cloud platform that simplifies security operations for IT teams and managed service providers.

WatchGuard Endpoint Security is a cornerstone of the company's offering, helping protect endpoints from one centralized platform. The solution includes multiple tiers to match organizational needs: WatchGuard EPP provides essential endpoint protection with antivirus, firewall, device control, and URL filtering; WatchGuard EPDR adds detection and response capabilities with the Zero-Trust Application Service that prevents applications from running until validated as trusted; and WatchGuard Advanced EPDR extends to security operations with intelligent capabilities for rapid investigation and response.

The Zero-Trust Application Service is a differentiating technology that monitors and prevents the execution of malicious applications through 100% classification of all programs and executables. This deny-by-default model, backed by AI and global threat intelligence, provides zero-day vulnerability protection by blocking all unverified processes before they run. The latest Release 18 introduces incident-centric investigations with autonomous alert correlation, an Endpoint GenAI Assistant for natural language queries, and AI-based enhancements for detecting malicious scripts and runtime abuse.

WatchGuard Firebox appliances complement endpoint security with unified threat management at the network perimeter. The Total Security Suite includes EDR Core for a limited number of endpoints based on the Firebox model, creating an integrated security fabric. For MSPs, WatchGuard Cloud provides multi-tenant management with consistent policies across clients and streamlined deployment. The company was recognized as a Leader and Outperformer in the 2025 GigaOm EDR Radar Report, validating its exceptional innovation and core EDR capabilities.
