Essentials Exam - Question 36


Match each WatchGuard Subscription Service with its function.

Uses full-system emulation analysis to identify characteristics and behavior of zero-day malware. (Choose one).

Show Answer
Correct Answer:

APT Blocker is intended to stop malware and zero-day threats attempting to invade an organization's network. It uses a next-gen sandbox for detailed views into the execution of a malware program. Initially, files are fingerprinted and checked against an existing database, first on the appliance and then in the cloud. If the file has never been seen before, it is analyzed using the system emulator, which monitors the execution of all instructions, detecting evasion techniques that other sandboxes might miss. None of the listed options correspond to APT Blocker.

The APT blocker provides a sandbox environment for all unknown files to be sent to and tested before they can enter your network
