Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) refers to a set of security solutions and technologies designed to defend against sophisticated and advanced cyber threats. These threats often include highly targeted attacks, zero-day exploits, ransomware, and other malicious activities that traditional security measures may struggle to detect or prevent.
ATP solutions typically involve a combination of technologies such as behavioral analysis, machine learning, sandboxing, threat intelligence, and endpoint detection and response (EDR) capabilities. These technologies work together to identify and respond to suspicious activities, malware, and other security breaches in real-time or near real-time.
The primary goal of ATP is to provide organizations with proactive defense mechanisms that can adapt to evolving cyber threats and protect sensitive data, systems, and networks from unauthorized access, disruption, or exploitation.
