Which product protects endpoints from known and unknown threats?

• A. WatchGuard Endpoint Security
• B. WatchGuard EPP
• C. Indicators of Attack (IOAs)
• D. ELAM

Answer: (B)

Protecting endpoints from both known and unknown threats is the job of an Endpoint Protection Platform. This type of product combines traditional signature-based defenses for known malware with advanced detection methods—like behavior analysis, machine learning, and exploit prevention—to block new and zero-day threats as well. WatchGuard EPP is designed to provide this comprehensive, proactive protection across endpoints, covering malware, ransomware, and exploits in real time.

Indicators of Attack point to suspicious patterns used for detection and alerting, not to active prevention. ELAM focuses on boot-time protection to ensure a trusted start for the system, but it doesn’t offer the full, ongoing endpoint defense against a broad range of threats. WatchGuard Endpoint Security refers to the broader suite, whereas the Endpoint Protection Platform is the specific component that delivers protection against both known and unknown threats.
