Software Details
- Uses full system emulation, which simulates the physical hardware including CPU and memory, provides the deepest level of visibility into malware behavior, and it is also the most difficult for advanced malware to detect
- Identifies and submits suspicious files to a cloud-based next-generation sandbox, a virtual environment where code is analyzed, emulated, and executed to determine its threat potential

WatchGuard APT Blocker, a subscription-based security service for WatchGuard security appliances, adds another layer of protection that goes beyond signature-based antivirus to detect and block advanced malware and zero day attacks. It sends Windows executable files, Microsoft Office, PDF, and Android APK files to run in a cloud-based sandbox with code emulation to look for malware characteristics, including multiple types of evasive behavior.
