"WSDaemon" can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software

I just updated to Catalina. Now, I get a popup window with the following message:

After I installed new update, receiving WS Daemon is an app downloaded from Internet. Are you sure you want to open it. Message that this was downloaded February 19, 2016. I have to keep canceling the message.
