Decouple FortiSandbox Cloud from FortiCloud

This feature allows users to use the FortiSanbox Cloud without a FortiCloud account. The FortiCloud Sandbox service can be used for free for up to 100 submissions per day. To use FortiCloud Sandbox without this limitation, a FortiGuard Antivirus license can be purchased.

The FortiCloud widget on the FortiGate's Status dashboard shows that FortiSandbox Cloud is decoupled from the FortiCloud account, and can be used without logging in to FortiCloud.

The Global > System > FortiGuard page also shows that the accounts are decoupled, and that FortiSandbox Cloud is licensed when the FortiGate is registered in FortiCare with a Antivirus license.

If the FortiGate does not have an Antivirus license, it will be restricted to 100 sandbox submissions per day.

To configure FortiSandbox Cloud inspection in the GUI:

1. Go to Global > Security Fabric > Settings.
2. Enable Sandbox Inspection.
3. For the Sandbox type, select FortiSandbox Cloud.
4. A FortiCloud account does not need to be logged in to. Instead, select the FortiSandbox cloud region from the drop-down list.

   

5. Click Apply.
