FortiSandbox Connector

FortiSandbox Connector

FortiADC is integrated with FortiSandbox to enhance its anti-virus capabilities. Upon detecting suspicious traffic segments, FortiADC first conducts some basic analysis of its own and then forwards them to FortiSandbox for further analysis. The latter will then drop or quarantine the malicious traffic segments and forward healthy traffic segments to the back-end servers.

To enable a FortiSandbox Connector:
  1. Go to Security Fabric > Fabric Connectors.
  2. Double-click FortiSandbox.
  3. Configure the following Fabric Device Settings:
