SonicWall Capture Advanced Threat Protection

SonicWall Capture ATP sandbox, with Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection (RTDMI), discovered 1,099 new malware variants each day in April 2018.

SonicWall’s patent-pending RTDMI technology catches more malware than behavior-based sandboxing methods, with a lower false positive rate. In 2018, RTDMI has discovered more than 5,000 never-before-seen malware variants - attacks likely missed by competing signature-based offerings.
