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

Why WatchGuard?
Most SMEs accumulate 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, cascading attacks going undetected.
WatchGuard takes a unified platform approach:
- A single cloud console to manage firewall, EDR and MFA
- ThreatSync XDR correlates signals from all three products to detect complex attacks
- Native Zero Trust policy (continuous authentication + segmentation)
- Built for SMEs: no Splunk or expensive SIEM at £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
Two-factor authentication (push, biometrics, passkeys), VPN protection, cloud applications, Windows workstations. Anti-phishing.
💻 EPDR — Endpoint Protection + EDR
Next-gen antivirus + behavioural detection + automated response. Guards against ransomware, APTs and zero-days.
📊 ThreatSync — unified XDR
Correlates signals from Firebox + EPDR + AuthPoint for early detection of complex attacks.

Voir nos forfaits TPE/PME →What WatchGuard protects you from
- Ransomware: EPDR blocks execution + ThreatSync detects abnormal behaviour before encryption begins
- Phishing: AuthPoint MFA prevents account takeover even if a password is stolen
- Lateral movement: Firebox segments your network so a compromised device cannot spread across the LAN
- Shadow IT: Firebox URL filtering blocks unauthorised applications
- Data exfiltration: ThreatSync correlates abnormal transfers and raises the alarm

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference from a standard antivirus (Bitdefender, Norton…)?
A standard antivirus simply compares files against a known signature database. 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. 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 two-factor authentication
- MDR ThreatSync monitoring: 24/7 monitoring (optional)
- IMACS SERVICES fee: integration, Zero Trust configuration, admin training, day-to-day monitoring
We provide a personalised quote within 48 hours of the free pre-assessment (sizing, choice of 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 commitments:
- ThreatSync MDR detects abnormal behaviour within minutes
- Our SOC is alerted 24/7 and initiates the response
- Incident plan documented at sign-off (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 and existing infrastructure. WatchGuard is our default recommendation for SMEs with 10–150 endpoints, thanks to the unified platform's value for money. For larger or more specialised organisations (mid-market, significant WAF/email requirements), Barracuda or Bitdefender may be more appropriate.
