WatchGuard APT Blocker is a next-generation advanced threat protection solution designed to detect and prevent sophisticated malware that evades traditional signature-based defenses. It leverages a cloud-based sandbox environment that simulates physical hardware to expose threats such as ransomware, zero-day exploits, and advanced persistent threats (APTs). APT Blocker is part of WatchGuard’s layered security approach, offering last-mile protection by analyzing file behavior and executing suspicious code in a secure emulated environment. It integrates seamlessly with WatchGuard Dimension for full visibility and is deployable within seconds as part of WatchGuard’s Firebox appliance.
