New Data Retention Periods for Advanced EPDR/EDR Solutions

Effective 1 April 2026, the new data retention policy for new product licenses is:

• Advanced EPDR – 90 days
• Advanced EDR – 90 days

1-Year Data Retention licenses are not available for Advanced EPDR/EDR; only when you migrate to the equivalent WatchGuard products.

If on 1 April 2026 you have an active term license for Advanced EPDR/EDR, we will provide an extended retention period for 365 days of data retention time through to the expiration date of your term license.

The expiration date of the extended retention period is the same as the expiration date of the core product license active on 1 April 2026. For example, if you have an Advanced EPDR/EDR for 50 licensed endpoints on 1 April 2026 that expires on 1 January 2029, the extended retention period (365 days) will continue until 1 January 2029. After 1 January 2029, the new data retention policy will apply (90 days).

If you add licensed endpoints or extend the Advanced EPDR/EDR license during the extended data retention period, 365-day data retention for the new licensed endpoints or license continues until the core product license expires on 1 January 2029. After 1 January 2029, the new data retention policy will apply to all licensed endpoints (90 days).
