There is a feature in Fortigate called Heuristic scanning it looks at the construction of files for characteristics commonly found in viruses.

I have fortisandbox in my network I wonder if Heuristic scanning function is already there in fortisandbox

Heuristic scanning only examines Microsoft Windows executable files (Windows Portable Executable files), typically ending with an 'exe' extension. This function is only helpful for detection, and does a fraction of what FortiSandbox is capable of.

So you can only use the FortiSandbox to check the behavior of executables.
