To protect customers against the increasing dangers of zero-day threats, SonicWall Capture Advanced Threat Protection Service — a cloud-based service available with SonicWall firewalls — detects and blocks advanced threats at the gateway until verdict.
This advanced threat-detection service combines multi-layer sandboxing, including full system emulation and virtualization techniques, to analyze suspicious code behavior. This powerful combination detects more threats than single engine sandbox solutions, which are compute-environment specific and susceptible to evasion.
In 2017 SonicWALL identified over 73 percent new forms of malware with Capture Advanced Threat Protection (ATP).
Of the 16,115 new forms of malware and zero-day attacks:
• Only 4,321 were known by one other security firm (that we partner with), just moments before us
• This means over 73 percent (11,794) were never seen until SonicWall identified them
This is very encouraging because it demonstrates three important points:
1. The SonicWall customer base of Capture ATP subscribers are protecting each other by serving up samples before researchers can find them
2. The technology is working wonderfully
3. The month-over-month data proves that SonicWall is your best defense against new threats

The way the solution functions is by scanning traffic and extracting suspicious code for analysis, but unlike other gateway solutions, it analyzes a broad range of file sizes and types. Globalthreat intelligence infrastructure rapidly deploys remediation signatures for newly identified threats to all SonicWall network security appliances, thus preventing further infiltration. Customers benefit from high-security effectiveness, fast response times and reduced total cost of ownership.
