Abstract	In this white paper, a comprehensive comparison of the security challenges associated with the cloud-based Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) systems versus hardware-based Advanced Threat Detection (ATD) appliances will be conducted. A thorough examination of how each approach addresses advanced cyber threats and highlights their unique risks and advantages in key areas, including latency, data privacy, sovereignty, update cycles, threat intelligence integration, scalability, incident response, and detection accuracy. Real-world case studies across multiple industries (retail, healthcare, finance, government) will be examined, and the key challenges and lessons learnt through deploying cloud and on-premise threat defenses will be illustrated. Observation and analysis of academic research, industry reports, and standards (e.g., NIST CSF, EU NIS2) to find the current best practices.
