Region-based connectivity for FortiWeb Cloud Sandbox (7.6.3)

FortiWeb has enhanced its FortiSandbox Settings to support region-based server resolution when FortiSandbox Type is set to FortiWeb Cloud Sandbox. Administrators can now select a region from an available list, allowing FortiWeb to dynamically retrieve and establish a connection to the corresponding FortiSandbox Cloud server IP for that region.

FortiSandbox provides advanced threat detection by executing and analyzing potentially malicious files in a controlled environment. By integrating with FortiSandbox Cloud, FortiWeb enhances security against zero-day malware and other web-based threats.

Key Enhancements:

• Configurable Region Selection – Allows administrators to specify a target region, ensuring FortiWeb connects to the appropriate FortiSandbox Cloud server within that region.

• Dynamic Endpoint Resolution – FortiWeb retrieves the corresponding FortiSandbox Cloud server IP based on the selected region and initiates a secure connection.

To configure FortiSandbox:

1. Go to System > Config > FortiSandbox.
2. Complete the settings according to the below table:

FortiSandbox Type	FortiSandbox Appliance—Submit files that match the upload restriction rules to a FortiSandbox physical appliance or FortiSandbox-VM.
