Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Advanced Persistent Threat (APT)?
An APT is a stealthy and prolonged cyberattack in which an intruder gains access to a network and remains undetected for an extended period. The goal is typically to steal data or disrupt operations.
How does APT Blocker differ from traditional antivirus?
Traditional antivirus relies on known signatures to detect threats. APT Blocker uses cloud-based sandboxing and behavioral analysis to identify unknown or zero-day threats that signature-based solutions would miss.
Is APT Blocker suitable for small businesses?
Yes, APT Blocker is designed to provide enterprise-level threat detection capabilities to SMBs and mid-market companies, helping them defend against sophisticated attacks without the complexity of large security teams.
