NDR for Firebox
Behavioral detection and response based on network activity, VPN, and DHCP telemetry from supported Fireboxes.
Start a conversation The network intelligence layer
WatchGuard NDR applies AI and machine learning to network-flow data to uncover suspicious behavior across physical, private, cloud, and multivendor networks.
Discuss Network Detection & ResponseWhy it matters
Attackers can move laterally between systems, communicate with command-and-control infrastructure, scan internal networks, or transfer data through devices that cannot run an endpoint agent. NDR continuously analyzes north-south and east-west traffic to expose those behaviors and prioritize action.
Choose the appropriate visibility
Coverage can begin with Firebox telemetry and expand to broader multivendor, cloud-workload, Microsoft 365, and compliance needs.
Behavioral detection and response based on network activity, VPN, and DHCP telemetry from supported Fireboxes.
Broader visibility using flow data from compatible switches, routers, firewalls, and supported cloud networks.
The broadest package, adding supported Microsoft 365 activity and expanded compliance reporting to network detection.
Core capabilities
Each capability addresses a specific part of the risk while sharing useful visibility with the broader WatchGuard ecosystem.
Flow-based machine learning identifies unusual access, beaconing, scanning, command-and-control activity, and suspicious data movement.
Internal traffic analysis helps reveal lateral movement and ransomware propagation that perimeter-only monitoring can miss.
Network observations help identify subnets, important systems, unmanaged assets, and rogue devices across monitored environments.
Supported Fireboxes provide telemetry directly, while collection agents can receive NetFlow or sFlow from compatible switches, routers, and third-party firewalls.
Smart Alerts, policy alerts, network threat scoring, and guided remediation help focus attention on the risks that matter most.
ThreatSync workflows can support actions such as blocking malicious addresses, isolating supported endpoints, or disabling compromised users.
The accountable layer
Technology becomes an operating security service when it is scoped, configured, monitored, maintained, and supported around the customer’s environment.
