WatchGuard® Technologies has been acknowledged in the 2025 GigaOm Radar Report for Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR). The company has secured both the titles of Leader and Outperformer in this report, underscoring its significant role in unified cybersecurity for managed service providers (MSPs).
GigaOm’s Radar Report for EDR serves as a guide for IT and security pioneers, assessing vendors based on innovation, execution, and deployment approaches. WatchGuard's recognition in the report highlights its prowess in delivering a comprehensive endpoint security solution that effectively combines prevention, detection, and investigation on a user-friendly platform. This capability is crucial as organizations confront ever-changing cybersecurity threats.
WatchGuard's Strength
In the 2025 evaluation, GigaOm praised WatchGuard as an Outperformer for “its delivery of an extensive array of innovative features, consistent release cadence, and execution against an ambitious roadmap.”
Andrew Young, Chief Product Officer at WatchGuard Technologies, commented, “Our customers already know they get elevated protection from our innovative endpoint capabilities like the Zero-Trust Application Service, and it’s exciting to see that reflected in the latest GigaOm EDR Radar report.”
Young notes that the dual recognition signifies the company's dedication to simplifying security while maintaining advanced, unified defenses through an intuitive platform.
AI-Driven Innovations
The report highlighted WatchGuard's abilities in the Innovation/Platform Play quadrant
The report highlighted WatchGuard's abilities in the Innovation/Platform Play quadrant, recognizing its AI-driven signal correlation, zero-trust enforcement, supply chain risk management via XDR integration, and the GenAI Telemetry Assistant.
These advanced features support organizations and MSPs by preventing unknown malware execution, reducing attack surfaces with unified policies, and enhancing investigation processes with AI-powered detection and analysis.
Advanced EPDR Solution
The GigaOm report assessed WatchGuard's Advanced Endpoint Detection, Prevention, and Response (EPDR) solution. It particularly noted the Zero-Trust Application Service, which blocks unknown and zero-day threats by classifying applications before execution.
WatchGuard’s incident-centric model aligns with MITRE ATT&CK frameworks, consolidating alerts into a comprehensive timeline, thereby cutting through alert noise and enhancing triage processes.
Real-World Impact
The GenAI Telemetry Assistant plays a pivotal role by transforming natural-language questions into precise telemetry queries, accelerating investigations, minimizing false positives, and boosting efficiency. These capabilities are crucial for organizations and MSPs aiming to scale operations effectively.
To exhibit the benefits of Zero Trust and Advanced Endpoint Protection, WatchGuard is conducting roadshows globally in the coming weeks. These sessions emphasize safeguarding the "everywhere workforce," countering AI-driven threats, and employing WatchGuard’s AI-enhanced detection and GenAI Telemetry Assistant.

Latest GigaOm EDR Radar report
“Our customers already know they get elevated protection from our innovative endpoint capabilities like the Zero-Trust Application Service, and it’s exciting to see that reflected in the latest GigaOm EDR Radar report,” said Andrew Young, Chief Product Officer at WatchGuard Technologies.
“Being named both a Leader and an Outperformer underscores our commitment to simplifying security while delivering the industry’s most advanced and unified defenses through an intuitive, easy-to-use platform.”
AI-driven signal correlation
The 2025 GigaOm Radar Report recognized WatchGuard as a Leader and Outperformer in the Innovation/Platform Play quadrant and recognized its AI-driven signal correlation, default zero-trust enforcement, supply chain risk mitigation through XDR integration, and GenAI Telemetry Assistant.
These advanced capabilities deliver real-world impact for organizations and MSPs, helping them stop unknown malware before execution, shrink their attack surface with unified policies, enforce AI-powered detection and containment at the endpoint, and accelerate investigations with intuitive, natural-language analysis.
WatchGuard’s Advanced EPDR solution
The report assessed WatchGuard’s Advanced EPDR solution and recognized it for its Zero-Trust Application Service, a capability also included in WatchGuard’s EPDR product, which classifies all applications before they can run, stopping unknown and zero-day threats before execution.
WatchGuard’s incident-centric model consolidates related alerts into a single MITRE ATT&CK-aligned timeline with entity context and root cause evidence. AI-driven aggregation and correlation reduce noise, so analysts triage one incident rather than many alerts.
The GenAI Telemetry Assistant turns natural-language questions into optimized telemetry queries, accelerating investigations, reducing false positives, improving efficiency, and helping organizations and MSPs scale.
Real security for the real world: Zero Trust and Advanced Endpoint Protection
To showcase the impact of Zero Trust and WatchGuard's Advanced Endpoint Protection capabilities, hands-on roadshows are being held across the globe over the next several weeks.
This fall’s sessions focus on protecting the “everywhere workforce,” defending against AI-driven threats, and applying WatchGuard’s AI-powered detection and GenAI Telemetry Assistant.
