Panda Adaptive Defense is a standalone EDR product that adds Zero-Trust Application Service and automated threat response on top of an existing endpoint protection solution. Adaptive Defense 360 is an all-in-one product that combines EPP and EDR in a single agent, so it does not require a separate antivirus product. If you already have endpoint protection in place and want to layer on EDR, Adaptive Defense is the right fit. If you want a single product to cover both prevention and detection, Adaptive Defense 360 is the better choice.

For most small businesses, Panda Adaptive Endpoint Protection is a strong starting point. It covers Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android devices against malware, ransomware, and phishing with minimal IT overhead. Organizations that also need email security and web filtering can step up to Adaptive Endpoint Protection Plus. If you need everything including EDR and IT management, the Fusion bundle is a cost-efficient way to get all three in one license.

Yes. Panda Patch Management and Panda Full Encryption are add-on modules that can be layered onto an existing Panda Endpoint Protection or Adaptive Defense license. Panda Adaptive Defense can also be added to any existing EPP product as an EDR layer. All modules share the same Aether cloud management console, so there is no new infrastructure or agent to deploy.

All Panda Endpoint products are managed through the Aether cloud platform, WatchGuard's centralized web-based console. Aether handles deployment, policy assignment, reporting, and real-time communication with every protected endpoint. Because it is cloud-hosted on ISO 27001 and SAS 70 certified infrastructure, no on-premises hardware or software is required to manage the environment.

The Zero-Trust Application Service is a core capability of Panda Adaptive Defense and Adaptive Defense 360. It classifies 100% of processes and applications running on protected endpoints as trusted, malware, or unknown. Unknown files are blocked by default until the Panda cloud intelligence service completes classification. This deny-by-default approach stops malware-less attacks, exploits, and unknown threats that signature-based tools would miss.

Yes. WatchGuard offers two bundle options for organizations that want to consolidate endpoint security and management. Panda Fusion bundles Adaptive Endpoint Protection, Adaptive Defense EDR, and Systems Management in one license. Panda Fusion 360 bundles Adaptive Endpoint Protection, Adaptive Defense 360, and Systems Management. Both bundles are typically more cost-effective than purchasing each product separately.
