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 primarily relies on known signatures to detect malware. APT Blocker uses advanced techniques, including behavioral analysis and cloud-based intelligence, to detect and block unknown and sophisticated threats that signature-based solutions might miss.
What WatchGuard devices are compatible with APT Blocker?
APT Blocker is compatible with most WatchGuard Firebox T and M series appliances. Specific model compatibility should be verified based on the appliance's operating system version and hardware capabilities.
