Which Check Point software blade provides protection from zero-day and undiscovered threats?

Threat Emulation is specifically designed to identify and mitigate zero-day threats and other undiscovered vulnerabilities that traditional security measures might overlook. It functions by executing suspicious files in a secure virtual environment to observe their behavior and determine if they are harmful before allowing them into the network. This proactive approach enables organizations to defend against novel threats that have yet to be defined in signature databases, ensuring that even previously unseen malware can be detected and neutralized.

In contrast, the Firewall primarily focuses on traffic control based on predefined rules and does not provide the in-depth analysis needed for zero-day threat detection. Application Control manages and regulates application use but does not specifically target harmful executables or files. Threat Extraction, while useful for sanitizing documents to remove potentially malicious content, does not analyze the behavior of files for latent threats, thus falling short in addressing the risk of zero-day exploits.
