Know your gear
Barracuda Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) is a cloud-based sandboxing service that is available in all Barracuda NextGen Firewall Series models, as well as available for all sizes and deployment types. Unlike many other first-generation, advanced persistent threat security vendors, Barracuda's ATP implements full-system emulation and next-generation sandboxing techniques that provide granular visibility into malware behavior.
First, all files are checked against a constantly updated and worldwide synchronized hash database of already emulated files. If the file is not known, it is uploaded and emulated in a virtual sandbox where all malicious behavior is revealed. While traditional breach detection solutions detect network threats only after they have entered the network and after sending log notifications to the administrator, ATP on Barracuda's NextGen Firewalls stops not yet known advanced persistent threats and ransomware before it enters the network.
Additionally, Advanced Threat Protection is also available on the Barracuda Email Security Gateway, Barracuda Essentials for Office 365, and Barracuda Essentials for Email Security - processing more than 20 million requests per day. This results in one of the world's most comprehensive databases of known bad IP addresses, "spyware domains," and command and control servers used by botnets.
