The Howdy Glossary

WatchGuard APT Blocker is an advanced malware protection solution as part of WatchGuard's Unified Threat Management (UTM) solutions. APT Blocker uses a combination of full-system emulation and traditional signature-based detection to provide real-time protection against zero-day threats and sophisticated Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs). The technology runs suspicious files in a virtual environment to monitor behavior, which can identify previously unknown malware that bypasses traditional antivirus solutions. This approach helps companies mitigate the risk of new types of attacks and offers an added layer of security within their network ecosystem.
