Capabilities

The full capability surface, stated precisely.

Where a capability is gated to a higher plan, it says so. Where it requires your own API key, it says that too.

Detection

  • Tiered EDR: Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, native OS tooling, or the built-in heuristic engine
  • 12 MITRE ATT&CK rule families — encoded PowerShell, living-off-the-land binaries, ransomware behaviour, lateral movement, persistence
  • Behavioural engine for activity that matches no signature
  • Threat-intel enrichment via VirusTotal, AbuseIPDB and AlienVault OTX (your keys, your bill)
  • Your own detection rules: regex, keyword or threshold

Automatic response

  • New workspaces start in detect only: nothing is stopped or isolated automatically until you choose detect and block
  • Playbooks for ransomware canaries and credential dumping, which act automatically only in detect-and-block mode. Canary files are placed through the API today, not from the console
  • Isolate a host, lock the screen, kill a process, quarantine a file — one click, or automatic by your settings
  • Volume Shadow Copy rollback on Windows, and USB mass-storage block and unblock — both as actions you trigger, through the API or with our help, not yet as a standing policy
  • Ransomware canary files: a tripped canary raises a critical alert, and in detect-and-block mode isolates the device
  • Every command signed, time-limited and replay-proof

Sensitive-data patterns

  • Patterns for payment card numbers, National Insurance numbers and other personal and client data, matched against process command lines and file paths in the telemetry we already collect, and recorded for review. This is pattern matching on what the agent sees, not a data-loss gateway: it does not inspect email, cloud uploads, printing or network shares, and it does not block a transfer.

Visibility

  • Geo threat map by country, with a filterable detection feed underneath
  • Kill-chain stories: alerts inside one window stitched into a single timeline
  • Per-device activity summary — applications, documents and sites, with time spent
  • Persistent foothold hunter: Run keys, scheduled tasks, services, WMI, LaunchAgents, cron, systemd
  • Application inventory and a CVE scanner across every managed device

AI, on your terms

  • WatchTower ships no model of its own. Connect one and the AI features work; leave it unconnected and they say so, and everything else — detection, containment, alerting, reporting — runs without one
  • Bring your own provider — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, Groq, Azure, or a model you host yourself
  • Written assessment of your security state, from your model or from the product's own rules
  • Public advisories scouted, filtered to what you actually run, and rewritten as advice
  • Log analysis is off until you switch it on, and redaction is on by default
  • No model is ever in the path of a blocking decision

Staff awareness

  • Phishing simulations using realistic pretexts
  • Restricted to email domains your organisation uses (public webmail domains excluded), and to administrators
  • Open and click tracking — no password or other form input is collected
  • Anyone who clicks lands on a short training page

Reporting and export

  • Fifteen datasets, each exportable as PDF, Excel or CSV, for the whole organisation or one device
  • One-click export of everything as a single workbook
  • Every export written to the audit log with who took it
  • Preview before you download, so nothing is a surprise

Integration

  • HMAC-SHA256 signed webhooks with retry and a delivery log
  • Scoped REST API at /api/v1/*, keys hashed with Argon2id
  • Microsoft 365 identity threat detection: risky sign-ins, risky users, OAuth grants
  • PSA ticketing for Halo, ConnectWise and Autotask
  • OIDC single sign-on: Entra ID, Okta, Google Workspace
  • Prometheus metrics at /metrics — on request: the endpoint needs a token we issue by hand today, so ask us and we will set one up

Compliance

  • UK GDPR self-service export and an audited erasure workflow
  • Append-only, hash-chained audit log
  • Agent secrets and integration credentials encrypted in the database
  • Cyber-insurance evidence pack per kill-chain story
  • Cyber Essentials readiness view
  • Retention configurable per data type, with aggregate-only workforce mode

Running it

  • Agents for Windows, macOS, Linux, and anything running Python 3.9+
  • No kernel driver on any platform
  • Offline buffering — detection continues without a connection
  • Tamper protection: stopping or editing the agent raises a critical alert
  • Run by us on UK hosting; self-hosting by agreement

Run it against your own endpoints.
