Compare FortiSandbox vs. Juniper Advanced Threat Protection

In contrast to earlier viruses that were relatively simple and few in number, traditional antivirus solutions could adequately safeguard systems using a database of signatures. However, the landscape of modern malware has evolved, incorporating advanced techniques like exploiting vulnerabilities. When a weakness in a trusted application is exploited, it can lead to unexpected behavior, which attackers leverage to breach computer security. This method of attacking through an undisclosed software vulnerability is referred to as a zero-day attack, or 0-day attack, and prior to the adoption of sandboxing, effective prevention methods were lacking. A malware sandbox serves as a protective mechanism that restricts an application's operations, such as handling a Word document, within a controlled environment. This isolated space allows the sandbox to scrutinize the dynamic behaviors of applications and their interactions in a simulated user setting, thereby revealing any potential malicious activities. Such technology has become essential in the fight against sophisticated threats, ensuring a more comprehensive approach to cybersecurity.

Juniper Advanced Threat Prevention (ATP) serves as the central hub for threat intelligence in your network environment. It boasts a comprehensive array of advanced security services that leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning to identify attacks at an early stage while enhancing policy enforcement across the entire network. Operating as a cloud-enabled service on an SRX Series Firewall or as a locally deployed virtual appliance, Juniper ATP effectively detects and neutralizes both commodity malware and zero-day threats within files, IP traffic, and DNS requests. The solution evaluates risks posed by both encrypted and decrypted network traffic, including that from IoT devices, and shares this critical intelligence throughout the network, significantly reducing your attack surface and minimizing the risk of breaches. Additionally, it automatically identifies and addresses both known threats and zero-day vulnerabilities. The system can also detect and block threats concealed within encrypted traffic without needing to decrypt it, while simultaneously identifying targeted attacks against your network, including those involving high-risk users and devices, thus enabling the automatic mobilization of your defensive measures. Ultimately, Juniper ATP enhances your network’s resilience against ever-evolving cyber threats.
