What is APT Blocker?
An APT Blocker is a solution to protect your network against Advanced Persistent Threats (APT).
APTs are the new generation of zero-day threats that use highly intelligent methods to bypass your network security.
The WatchGuard Advanced Persistent Threat Blocker is an innovative sandbox solution for advanced malware that goes far beyond traditional antivirus.
APT Blocker inspects files entering the network and isolates suspicious files in a sandbox, where the code inside the file is analyzed to determine the threat level. This approach ensures that even malware specifically designed to bypass UTM security can still be detected.
APT integrates with the WatchGuard Cloud & Dimension tool and displays all APTs together in a single overview. With WatchGuard APT Blocker, cryptolockers (e.g. WannaCry) are accurately detected and blocked.
This security feature is included in the Total Security Suite from WatchGuard. This suite contains all services offered in the Basic Security Suite, plus advanced malware protection, data loss prevention, enhanced network visibility, a secure access portal, and the ability to take action against threats from WG Cloud & Dimension.
