Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) solutions are designed to reduce risks to organization’s endpoints by preventing attacks before they occur. Using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), ATP tools minimizes the risk and potential impacts of advanced attacks by focusing on threat prevention rather than threat detection and response. ATP augments other common security solutions aimed at repelling known intrusion strategies.

There are three primary goals of advanced threat protection: early detection, adequate protection and response (the ability to mitigate threats and respond to security incidents).
