SonicWall Capture ATP

SonicWall Capture Advanced Threat Protection is a multi-engine cloud sandboxing service engineered to discover and block zero-day cyber threats, advanced persistent malware, and ransomware across network perimeters, endpoints, and email gateways. By combining multiple specialized analysis engines—including hypervisor-level emulation, full-system emulation, and patented Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection (RTDMI)—it inspects suspicious files to neutralize threats that evade traditional signature-based security controls.

The service connects natively with SonicWall TZ, NSa, and NSsp Series firewalls, SonicWall Capture Client endpoint agents, and SonicWall Email Security solutions, offloading compute-intensive malware detonation to the SonicWall security cloud. It operates on a "block until verdict" architecture, holding suspicious files at the firewall gateway until sandboxing analysis confirms the payload is safe. Primary implementation scenarios include analyzing unknown executable files and macros, intercepting weaponized PDF and Office documents, stopping evasive ransomware before delivery, and generating rapid automated threat signatures.

Through its patented RTDMI engine, SonicWall Capture ATP forces malware to reveal itself in memory, detecting obfuscated and weaponized code within hundreds of milliseconds without relying on behavioral runtime delays. When a malicious verdict is reached, the platform distributes threat signatures globally across millions of connected SonicWall endpoints and firewalls in minutes. The solution eliminates zero-day vulnerability risks, hardens enterprise perimeter security, and provides robust defense against sophisticated cyber adversaries.
