The risks in our digital era are only becoming more complex, causing a growing need for robust network security efforts. This leads many business owners to the question: What is advanced threat detection?<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While there are many ways to go about this, advanced threat detection (ATD) is something to consider for business owners and IT teams. You can find <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.firewalls.com\/licensing.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">various licenses<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that include a range of similar and unique protection features to enhance your firewall protection.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s an additional layer in your network that offers actionable support to quickly respond to active threats. In this article, you\u2019ll get a direct understanding of advanced threat detection and why it\u2019s important for your company\u2019s network.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2f8ceb9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2f8ceb9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h1 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What is Advanced Threat Detection?\n<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c97a6f1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c97a6f1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The purpose behind this feature set is to give businesses the chance to be proactive with their cyber security. It takes more of an aim on complex threats, something that base-level protection might not be able to identify or handle.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other common aspects of threat detection include:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Real-time analysis<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ability to help navigate quickly evolving attacks<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Machine learning, behavioral analysis, and threat intelligence<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pattern recognition for the most subtle deviations<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Integrations for sandboxing and automated monitoring<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you take the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.firewalls.com\/catalogsearch\/result\/?q=advanced%20threat%20detection\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">different licenses<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> into account, the feature sets behind ATD can be quite unique. There are also plenty of threat protection solutions out there, with options between SonicWall, WatchGuard, Fortinet, and many others.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4e75c46 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4e75c46\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Understanding How ATD Works\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bfca569 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bfca569\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In most cases, ATD tackles network threats through sandboxing. This works to isolate files or data that might be suspicious in your company\u2019s network. Better yet, ATD can analyze behavior without risking a potential system infection or breach.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the help of sandboxing, malware can be let loose in a secure setting. You can detect malicious actions based on specific behaviors without risking the entire network. Compared to traditional fingerprinting methods with antivirus, sandboxing is a step in a more thorough direction.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ATD also continuously performs network traffic analysis so that it doesn\u2019t miss a single detail. Identifying harmful files, flagging them, and directing them to sandboxing are all part of the process.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a very detailed process that doesn\u2019t leave much room for error. IT teams and business owners can rest assured that ATD is logging behaviors that help security teams take safe next steps. More importantly, it should be noted that ATD works best when coupled with other security measures.
