It is required to activate the FortiSandbox connection by running the commands below:

 

execute forticloud-sandbox region

0 Europe

1 Global

Please select cloud sandbox region[0-3]:1

 

It is also possible to enable FortiSandbox from the FortiGate GUI by going to Security Fabric -> Fabric Connectors. Under Security Fabric Connectors, select Sandbox and set status to enable.

 

There are three options that can be configured on how to send files to FortiSandbox:

  1. FortiSandbox
  2. FortiGate Cloud
  3. FortiSandbox Cloud

 

If the option for FortiGate Cloud is not available, run below command to enable:

 

config system global

    set gui-fortigate-cloud-sandbox enable

end
