WatchDog security appliances form an integrated defense-in-depth architecture. The WD-FW9000 next-generation firewall anchors perimeter and segmentation security, the WD-IPS7000 provides dedicated inline threat prevention, and the WD-ZTNA5000 replaces legacy VPN with identity-aware zero-trust access. All three product lines share the WatchDog SecurityOS platform and feed telemetry into WD-ThreatCloud, our global threat intelligence network that processes over 500 billion events daily.

Platform Capabilities

Unified Threat Defense

An integrated security architecture powered by AI threat intelligence and zero-trust principles.

AI RF Optimization

AI Threat Intelligence

Machine learning models trained on 500 billion network events per day detect zero-day threats, C2 communication, and lateral movement with 99.7% accuracy.

WPA3 Security

Zero Trust Architecture

Never trust, always verify. Identity-based access control with continuous posture assessment replaces implicit trust from network location.

IoT Gateway

Encrypted Traffic Visibility

Inspect TLS 1.3 encrypted traffic at wire speed without compromising performance. Selectively decrypt based on policy, category, and compliance requirements.

Real-Time Analytics

Automated Response

SOAR integration enables automated quarantine, policy changes, and incident response workflows triggered by threat detection events.

Cloud Management

Cloud-Native Security

Deploy security policies consistently across on-premises, public cloud, and SaaS environments with unified policy management and single-pane visibility.

Seamless Roaming

Compliance Ready

Pre-built compliance templates for PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOX, GDPR, and NIST CSF accelerate audit preparation and continuous compliance monitoring.
