Key features of FortiSandbox include:
  • Dynamic Anti-malware updates/Cloud query: Receives updates from FortiGuard Labs and send queries to the FortiSandbox Community Cloud in real time, helping to intelligently and immediately detect existing and emerging threats.
  • Full virtual environment: Provides a contained runtime environment to analyze high risk or suspicious code and explore the full threat life cycle.
  • Advanced visibility: Delivers comprehensive views into a wide range of network, system and file activity, categorized by risk, to help speed up incident response.
  • Network Alert: Inspects network traffic for requests to visit malicious sites, establish communications with C&C servers, and other activity indicative of a compromise. It provides a complete picture of the victim host's infection cycle.
  • Manual analysis: Allows security administrators to manually upload malware samples via the FortiSandbox web GUI or JSON API to perform virtual sandboxing without the need for a separate appliance.
  • FortiSandbox Community Cloud: Tracer reports, malicious files and other information may be submitted to FortiSandbox Community Cloud in order to receive remediation recommendations and updated in line protections.
  • Schedule scan of network shares: Perform a schedule scan of network shares in Network File System (NFS) v2 to v4 and Common Internet File System (CIFS) formats to quarantine suspicious files.
  • Scan job archive: You can archive scan jobs to a network share for backup and further analysis.
  • Website URL scan: Scan websites to a certain depth for a predefined time period.
  • • Cluster supporting High Availability: Provide a non-interruption, high performance system for malware detection.Custom VMs using pre-configured VMs with your own ISO image.

For information on advanced guidelines (e.g. hard disk hot-swapping procedure, system recovery procedure using Rescue Mode, and password reset procedure), see the FortiSandbox Best Practices and Troubleshooting Guide in the Fortinet Document Library. And for information on cloud-based deployments, see https://docs.fortinet.com/product/fortisandbox-cloud/.
