Overview {#Overview}
--------------------

Threat Emulation prevents infections from undiscovered exploits, zero-day and targeted attacks. This innovative solution quickly inspects incoming files, launches suspicious files in a virtual sandbox, discovers malicious behavior and then prevents discovered malware from entering the network. The Emulation appliance is an on-premises solution to emulate threats.

Key Features:

* Identify new attacks hidden in Adobe PDF, Microsoft Office, Java, Flash, and executable files.
* Emulate files and documents for threats in a secure sandbox.
* Protection against attacks targeting multiple Windows operating system environments.
* Emulate files within SSL and TLS communications.
* Prevent malicious files from entering the organization.
* Includes the Threat Emulation, Threat Extraction, Anti-Virus and Anti-Bot software blades, providing comprehensive protection from advanced threats.
* Deploy inline or as a private cloud. In private cloud mode, the appliance provides an emulation service for all security gateways across the organization's network.

| 01674580 | In the TE250X appliance, a second Power Supply Unit is optional. When a second PSU is not installed, Gaia OS reports it as "`Value=Down`" and "`Status=Off`". This is different from similar appliances (e.g., 4800), where a filler is closing a circuit, thus behaving as if a PSU is installed. |
