Features Summary
- Machine learning
Barracuda Advanced Threat Protection uses advanced machine learning techniques to stay ahead of ever-evolving malware, including variants that are capable of exploiting one or more threat vectors. - Advanced threat signatures
Barracuda maintains a massive database of known threat signatures that is used to detect and block any known threat. Whenever a new threat is identified, its signature is immediately added to the database and shared across all the security products and subscribers in real time. - Behavioral and heuristic analysis
Any email or data that is not blocked at Layer 1 is then subjected to behavioral and heuristic analysis at Layer 2. In this layer, questionable code and scripts are analyzed in a controlled environment. This layer looks for suspicious activities such as replication, file overwrites, and obfuscation attempts. - Static code analysis
Static code analysis examines parts of any executable file to find questionable code without actually executing the code. This layer is a fast and highly effective method of pre-filtering malware before sending questionable files on to the final, sandboxing layer. - CPU-emulation sandboxing
The final layer of analysis is a comprehensive CPU emulation-based sandbox that detonates any suspect files that have survived the previous layers. By using CPU emulation, the Barracuda Advanced Threat Protection can detect threats that are designed to evade traditional virtualization-based sandboxes.
