What is the function of Adaptive Threat Prevention in R80?

Adaptive Threat Prevention in R80 significantly enhances security by focusing on the detection and prevention of threats through behavioral analysis. This approach leverages advanced algorithms and machine learning to monitor the activities within the network in real-time. By assessing patterns of behavior that deviate from established baselines, the system can identify potential threats such as malware, intrusion attempts, or other malicious activities that might not be caught by traditional signature-based methods.

This capability allows for a proactive security posture, making it possible to respond to emerging threats dynamically as opposed to reacting only to known threats. By recognizing unusual behaviors, Adaptive Threat Prevention can initiate preventive measures automatically, thereby minimizing the risk of successful attacks and potential exposure.

The other options relate to different functions not encapsulated by Adaptive Threat Prevention. Preventing user access based on role pertains more to access control mechanisms rather than threat detection. Configuration of network bandwidth focuses on quality of service and traffic management rather than security threats. Blocking specific devices deals with access control lists or device management, which again is outside the remit of behavioral threat analysis.
