WatchGuard Partner
Unified cybersecurity, scaled to your reality.
WatchGuard brings together firewall (Firebox), EDR (EPDR), strong authentication (AuthPoint MFA) and advanced threat detection (ThreatSync XDR) on a single cloud platform. IMACS SERVICES deploys, configures and monitors this suite for SMEs and professional firms across Normandy.

Why WatchGuard?
Most SMEs end up with security tools that don't talk to each other: an antivirus here, a firewall there, MFA somewhere else, and zero correlation. The result: ignored alerts and cascading attacks that go undetected.
WatchGuard takes a unified platform approach:
- A single cloud console to manage firewall, EDR and MFA
- ThreatSync XDR correlates signals from all 3 products to detect complex attacks
- Native Zero Trust policy (continuous authentication + segmentation)
- Built for SMEs: no need for Splunk or a SIEM costing €50k/year
The WatchGuard Suite
🛡 Firebox — next-gen firewall
Perimeter protection, URL filtering, gateway antivirus, SD-WAN, integrated with the WatchGuard cloud.
🔐 AuthPoint — cloud MFA
Multi-factor authentication (push, biometrics, passkeys), VPN protection, cloud applications, Windows workstations. Anti-phishing.
💻 EPDR — Endpoint Protection + EDR
Next-gen antivirus + behavioural detection + automated response. Protection against ransomware, APTs and zero-day threats.
📊 ThreatSync — unified XDR
Correlation of Firebox + EPDR + AuthPoint signals for early detection of complex attacks.

Deployment
Firebox installation, Zero Trust configuration, EPDR deployment on workstations, AuthPoint MFA enrolment, admin training.
MDR monitoring
24/7 monitoring via ThreatSync, alert handling, incident escalation, monthly reports.
Run & evolution
Firmware updates, rule adjustments, quarterly reviews, onboarding of new workstations and sites.

- Ransomware: EPDR blocks execution + ThreatSync detects abnormal behaviour before encryption begins
- Phishing: AuthPoint MFA prevents account takeover even if a password is stolen
- Lateral intrusion: Firebox segments your network — a compromised device cannot spread across the LAN
- Shadow IT: Firebox URL filtering blocks unauthorised applications
- Data leakage: ThreatSync correlates abnormal transfers and raises the alert

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference from a standard antivirus (Bitdefender, Norton…)?
A standard antivirus simply compares files against a database of known signatures. EPDR adds:
- behavioural detection (an unknown file encrypting your documents = blocked even without a signature)
- automated response (endpoint isolation, rollback of changes)
- centralised telemetry (visibility across 100 endpoints from a single console)
- XDR correlation (cross-referencing with what the firewall and MFA see)
A pure antivirus will not detect a modern ransomware attack. EPDR detects it before it encrypts your files.
How much does it cost?
The cost breaks down into several lines:
- Firebox firewall: hardware appliance (model sized to your workload) + service licences (gateway antivirus, IPS, URL filtering…)
- EPDR per endpoint: next-gen antivirus + EDR + telemetry
- AuthPoint MFA per user: cloud-based two-factor authentication
- MDR ThreatSync monitoring: 24/7 monitoring (optional)
- IMACS SERVICES delivery: integration, Zero Trust configuration, admin training, daily monitoring
We provide a personalised quote within 48 hours following the free preliminary assessment (sizing, selection of the Firebox model suited to your traffic, desired service level).
What if an attack gets through anyway?
EPDR blocks automatically, but no solution is 100 % foolproof. Our commitment:
- ThreatSync MDR detects abnormal behaviour within minutes
- Our SOC is alerted 24/7 and initiates the response
- Incident plan documented at the point of signing (who contacts whom, and in what order)
- Immutable backups (encrypted 3-2-1-1) guarantee restoration
Do you work with other firewall brands?
Yes: we also work with Bitdefender and Barracuda (see Barracuda page). The choice depends on your context: size, sector, existing infrastructure. WatchGuard is our default choice for SMEs with 10–150 endpoints, thanks to the unified platform's value for money. For larger or highly specific organisations (mid-sized enterprises, significant WAF/email requirements), Barracuda or Bitdefender may be more appropriate.
