Experience next-generation protection for your network with WatchGuard APT Blocker for Firebox T40-w. This cloud-based sandboxing service extends your firewall’s defenses beyond traditional signature-based antivirus by detecting and blocking advanced malware and zero-day exploits before they reach endpoints. With full-system emulation and broad file-type coverage, APT Blocker provides deep threat visibility while preserving network performance and simplicity in your security stack. Whether it’s phishing attachments, malicious documents, or covert installers, your network stays ahead of evolving cyber risks with a scalable, cloud-assisted approach that integrates seamlessly with WatchGuard Dimension and Firebox T40-w.

  • Advanced threat detection beyond signatures: Harness cloud sandboxing and behavioral analysis to identify evasive malware and zero-day exploits that traditional antivirus may miss, delivering proactive protection for your perimeter.
  • Cloud-based sandbox with full-system emulation: Executing Windows executables, PDFs, Office documents, and Android APKs in a virtualized environment lets the system observe how code behaves under realistic conditions, improving accuracy and reducing false positives.
  • Broad file-type coverage: The service inspects Windows executables (.exe,.dll), Adobe PDFs, Microsoft Office files (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), and Android APKs—covering the most common attack vectors used by adversaries.
  • Real-time threat visibility with WatchGuard Dimension: Integrated dashboards deliver at-a-glance insights into threats impacting your network, enabling faster containment and informed security decisions.
  • Seamless integration and scalable protection: Designed to complement your Firebox T40-w deployment, APT Blocker delivers cloud-assisted protection without heavy on-premises compute, scaling with your network as needs grow.
