Threat Prevention
LIVEDoes your SASE vendor actually stop malware and phishing?
SASE vendors all claim advanced threat prevention. We tested 12 specific scenarios — from inline malware blocking to zero-day sandboxing — across 8 vendors to find who actually delivers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which SASE vendor is best for threat prevention?
Does the platform include IPS signatures to detect and block exploit attempts, C2 callbacks, and known attack patterns?
Can risky or uncategorized websites be automatically rendered in a remote browser to prevent drive-by downloads?
Does the platform integrate with XDR/EDR solutions to correlate network-level and endpoint-level threat signals?
Does the platform scan file downloads and uploads inline for known malware using signature-based and heuristic engines?
Does the platform detonate suspicious files in a cloud sandbox to detect zero-day malware before delivering to the user?
How is the Threat Prevention comparison tested?
Methodology
All answers are sourced from publicly available vendor documentation, knowledge base articles, press releases, and verified user reports. We do not rely on vendor marketing claims.
YES means the feature is confirmed working with documentation. PARTIAL means it works with significant caveats or limitations. NO means it is confirmed not supported. TBD means research is still in progress.
