Predict threats months in advance with WatchGuard AV

Data from WatchGuard’s Internet Security Report demonstrates that Zero-day malware now accounts for nearly 50% of all malware attacks facing WatchGuard users.  This is a figure set to increase as cyber criminals deploy increasingly advanced techniques in today’s threat landscape.

WatchGuard’s new solution - WatchGuardAV uses artificial intelligence to protect against new and evolving zero-day malware.  Whilst traditional signature-based AV solutions detect known threats, WatchGuard’s IntelligentAV technology is actually capable of predicting zero-day threats before they are released, sometimes weeks and months earlier.

Previously this sort of technology has only been available to large organisations but WatchGuard’s predictive protection is now an affordable addition to the security armoury of small and medium sized enterprises for the first time, as part of the Total Security Suite solution.

Key feature include:

  • Predictive protection from evolving threats
  • Innovative machine learning
  • Prevents malware at the network entry

The system means that businesses no longer need to rely on signatures or cloud connectivity, with the results from the automated classification processing of files available in real time.

As part of WatchGuard’s Total Security Suite, IntelligentAV is available on latest generation M Series appliances, as well as Firebox Cloud and FireboxV, and joins ThreatSync, Gateway AntiVirus, and APT Blocker to provide the most comprehensive layered malware detection in the industry.
