Network security has never been so important in today’s workplace. A recent report from White & Case stated that; 

“We live in an increasingly networked world, from personal banking to government infrastructure. Protecting those networks is no longer optional.”

With every month that passes, your business is at increased risk of being attacked by ransomware, unless you have sufficient network protection in place, you are increasing your chances of becoming a victim of cybercrime. Given that threats are becoming more and more clever in their approach, there has never been a more crucial time to take action by having intelligent security to protect your business. 

Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) are a newer strain of malware that are able to morph to avoid detection. APT blocker is compatible with WatchGuard Dimension, and is now available as part of the high level bundle. It uses a cloud-based next-gen sandbox to protect the most valuable assets from malicious attacks. Dimension is the reporting feature available for all, to the Unified Threat Management (UTM) platform, that allows oceans of data to become security intelligence. 

APT Blocker relies on behaviour analysis instead of traditional signature based analysis, thus it is able to detect these new viruses. Using its full system emulation, WatchGuard are able to simulate physical hardware to give a greater level of protection not seen before. This should be seen as an essential element in your network security setup.  

WatchGuard APT Blocker is available and compatible with all WatchGuard appliances.
