WatchGuard Technologies Launches Artificial Intelligence-Based Antivirus to Help Defend Against Zero Day Malware

August 2018 by Marc Jacob

WatchGuard Technologies, Inc. announced version 12.2 of its Fireware® operating system
for its Firebox® Unified Security Platform™ appliances. Key to the update is
IntelligentAV™, a new antivirus scan service that uses an artificial intelligence
(AI) engine to predict, detect and block constantly evolving zero day malware.
IntelligentAV joins Threat Detection and Response (TDR), Gateway AntiVirus, and APT
Blocker as an additional layer of industry-leading malware defence on the Firebox
platform.

IntelligentAV uses Cylance’s malware detection engine based on machine learning
technology, which can accurately predict and detect future malware samples even
without access to the latest threat intelligence and signature databases. For
example, in a third-party test by SE Labs, a 2015 version of this AI detection
engine correctly identified and blocked major threats 33 months before they appeared
in the wild. This means that IntelligentAV accurately continues to detect and block
malware without relying on signatures.

Along with IntelligentAV, Fireware version 12.2 also includes many other significant
upgrades. Highlights include:
· Firebox Cloud Management Upgrades: WatchGuard System Manager for
management of multiple Firebox Cloud instances hosted on Amazon Web Services or
Microsoft Azure.
· Geo-Blocking by Policy: Users can now set granular policies to restrict
certain traffic types to or from specific countries.
· TLS Proxy Protocols: Enables proxy and malware inspection for the POP3S
and SMTPS (or POP3 and SMTP over TLS) mail retrieval protocols.
· WebBlocker Updates: Adds the ability to generate alerts by categories
(for example, weapons, militancy, or mental health issues).
· Multiple Server Certificates: Users can now host multiple different
servers and applications behind a single Firebox, each with their own proxy
certificate.

IntelligentAV is available only as part of WatchGuard’s Total Security Suite and
can be used now for all WatchGuard customers with a Total Security Suite license on
M270 or higher Firebox appliances, and on all Cloud and virtual appliances.
