WatchGuard solution

Managed Detection & Response

Extend security monitoring and containment with 24/7 WatchGuard MDR options aligned to the required coverage.

Solution overview

Many organizations cannot staff an internal security operations centre around the clock. Security tools may detect suspicious activity, but alerts still need to be reviewed, investigated and acted upon quickly.

WatchGuard MDR combines platform telemetry, automation and security analysts to provide eligible 24/7 monitoring, investigation and threat containment. ITMAP ASIA helps partners and organizations understand coverage options, prerequisite products and the operational handoff required for a managed service.
