Predictive Malware Defense Powered by AI
WatchGuard IntelligentAV
Predict and block malware before it's discovered. AI-driven protection that works offline, no signatures or cloud updates needed.
The Problem
Cyberattacks evolve faster than traditional antivirus can keep up. Malware can change every hour, easily slipping past signature-based defenses that only detect known threats.
If your security still depends on signature updates or cloud connectivity, you're already a step behind.
The Solution: AI-Powered Protection That Predicts What's Next
WatchGuard IntelligentAV uses an advanced machine-learning engine that doesn't just recognize threats, it predicts them.
By analyzing the DNA of millions of files, IntelligentAV identifies malicious intent before malware even exists in the wild.
That means you're protected from attacks months, sometimes years, before they're ever released.

Predictive Protection
IntelligentAV delivers a Predictive Advantage of over two years, meaning it can stop threats well before traditional AVs even know they exist.
Using mathematical models instead of human-written signatures, it studies thousands of features in every file to determine its intent.
Results arrive in fractions of a second, keeping your users safe without slowing down productivity.
Block Threats Without Dependence on Signatures
Modern malware mutates constantly, breaking signature-based tools.
IntelligentAV eliminates that weakness by running fully offline: no cloud lookups, no update lag, no dependency on external data feeds.
Even in disconnected environments or remote locations, your Firebox still delivers real-time, zero-day protection.
Stronger, Smarter, Multi-Layered Defense
As part of the WatchGuard Total Security Suite, IntelligentAV adds an extra layer of predictive malware prevention on top of:
- Gateway AntiVirus (GAV)
- APT Blocker
- ThreatSync (XDR)
Together, they create one of the most comprehensive, layered defenses available, stopping known and unknown threats at the exact moment they reach your network.
