At Impact BT, we are intentional about the security solutions we deploy on behalf of our clients. Every platform in our stack is selected, tested, and actively managed to ensure it delivers real-world protection without unnecessary complexity or operational burden.
One of our top security partners, WatchGuard, recently participated in the latest MITRE ATT&CK® Enterprise Round 7 (ER7) Evaluation, and the results reinforce why we trust this solution to protect our customers.
MITRE ATT&CK Evaluations are not rankings or awards, they are rigorous, technical exercises. MITRE simulates a realistic, multi-stage cyberattack in a controlled environment and objectively records how each product responds. When testing concludes, the same raw data is published for every vendor, allowing for transparent, side-by-side analysis.
We are proud to share WatchGuard’s MITRE ER7 results:
- 100% Attack Visibility
The attack was fully visible as it unfolded, no blind spots, no missed activity. - 100% Threat Protection
Threats weren’t just detected; they were stopped early, before the attack could progress. - Zero Operational Friction
No excessive alerts, no system “gaming,” and no unnecessary noise, just security that works in real-world environments.
The challenge with many EDR and XDR platforms is the tradeoff between detection, prevention, and usability, often leading to alert fatigue, disruption, or analyst burnout. WatchGuard demonstrated that strong security does not have to come at that cost.
These results align with how we approach security at Impact: deploying proven, high-performing solutions and managing them with care, foresight, and accountability. It’s not about having more tools, it’s about having the right ones, configured and maintained the right way.
