Security products are harder to operate when every technology uses a separate console, reporting model and workflow. WatchGuard Cloud provides a common environment for managing compatible parts of the WatchGuard portfolio.
Network security management
Compatible Fireboxes can be configured, monitored and reported through WatchGuard Cloud. This is useful for organisations with distributed sites and service providers that need repeatable policy and central visibility.
Endpoint security management
Endpoint policies, deployment status, detections and response can be administered centrally. The unified WatchGuard Agent is designed to simplify deployment of compatible services across supported operating systems.
Identity security
AuthPoint policies, users and authentication controls are managed in WatchGuard Cloud, helping standardise MFA deployment across applications and customer environments.
Secure Wi-Fi
WatchGuard access points can use cloud-based configuration, monitoring, guest access and reporting. Central management helps maintain consistent wireless policy across locations.
ThreatSync XDR
ThreatSync correlates compatible security activity and provides incident context and response actions within WatchGuard Cloud. Its value depends on appropriate products, entitlements and operational processes.
Planning considerations
Define account structure, delegated administration, naming, policy ownership, alert routing and change control before onboarding many sites or customers. Centralisation simplifies operations only when the management model is clearly designed.
