IntelligentAV

Malware Defense Powered by Artificial Intelligence

IntelligentAV leverages a machine-learning engine to better defend against continuously evolving zero-day malware. While signature-based AV solutions are only able to detect known threats, IntelligentAV makes it possible to predict threats months before they are released, providing powerful predictive protection previously unavailable to small and midsize businesses.

Key Features

Predictive protection against evolving malware.
No reliance on signatures or Cloud connectivity.
Automated malicious vs safe classification, with results in fractions of a second.
Innovative machine-learning engine identifies emerging threats.
Another industry-leading layer of malware detection on the Firebox.
Malware is stopped at the very point where your network touches the Internet.

Predictive Protection

IntelligentAV uses a powerful machine-learning engine to protect against evolving malware, and industry tests show it has a Predictive Advantage of over two years. It identifies threats by analyzing the fundamental components of millions of files, examining numerous characteristics in each file for signs of malicious intent. This results in statistical algorithms that classify files based on the statistical fingerprints of known malicious and benign files. This automated process determines if a file is safe to run before execution, delivering real-time results within fractions of a second.

Block Threats Without Relying on Signatures

Modern malware mutates at an incredible rate and can change hour by hour, rendering human-produced, signature-based detection obsolete. IntelligentAV defeats malware attempting to enter your network by using tested mathematical models that require no Cloud connectivity, signatures, or behavioral analysis, keeping you safe even in environments where access to regular signature database updates is difficult.
