Fortisandbox

hello team

We are initiating a new project to deploy FortiSandbox, and we have a few questions regarding its operation and features. Could you kindly provide insights on the following:

  1. How does FortiSandbox operate to achieve real-time blocking of malicious files?
  2. What is FortiSandbox's approach to threat protection?
  3. Could you explain the key malware detection components included in FortiSandbox?
  4. How does the blocking policy function?
  5. What is the estimated time for a client's request containing files to go through FortiSandbox's full scanning process and reach the backend server?

Looking forward to your guidance.

FortiSandbox achieves real-time blocking by analyzing files in an isolated environment and integrating with tools like FortiGate for threat prevention. It uses static and dynamic analysis, behavioral monitoring, and AI-based models for malware detection. Blocking policies are set on integrated devices, and file scanning typically takes seconds to a few minutes, depending on file size and complexity. Large file transfers are often a time-consuming task when using services that impose file size limits. Compressing files or breaking them into multiple parts creates extra work and increases the risk of errors. FileMail offers an effective solution by providing fast and unrestricted transfers. It’s particularly useful for creative professionals and tech teams who need a reliable platform to share large, high-resolution files without the usual hassles.
