Sandboxing: a must-have in modern cyber defense

As the modern threat landscape, powered by AI enhanced threats bypass traditional defenses, sandboxing has become a critical layer in detecting the unknown and evasive —especially zero-day or fileless malware.

The truth about sandboxing speed

Contrary to outdated beliefs, sandboxing doesn’t have to slow things down. FortiSandbox delivers fast, AI-driven threat analysis—proving that high security and high performance can go hand in hand. One of the most common misconceptions about sandboxing is that it’s too slow for real-time protection. In reality, FortiSandbox is engineered for speed and efficiency without compromising on deep threat analysis and protection. It uses a two-tiered AI-powered scanning approach—static and dynamic—to rapidly and accurately assess files.

The Static AI Scan can process up to 50 files per second, immediately identifying known malicious attributes and returning a threat verdict within milliseconds. If a file contains active content (such as embedded URLs, scripts, macros, or executables) but shows no obvious static threats, it is passed to the Dynamic AI Scan, which spins up an isolated virtual environment to detonate and observe the file’s behavior—typically within a few seconds.

In a well-resourced production environment, most files are scanned in under a second, with a median scan time of just five seconds. This time-frame is well within acceptable thresholds for network, email, and endpoint solutions to safely hold files during analysis—ensuring high detection efficacy without slowing down operations.

Features:

FortiSandbox combines advanced threat detection with performance and flexibility, making it a powerful addition to any security stack. This section summarizes key features that define its effectiveness—from AI-driven static and dynamic analysis to flexible deployment models and seamless integration across network, endpoint, email, and cloud environments. Whether you’re looking for speed, scalability, or automated response, FortiSandbox delivers where it matters most.

Continuously Evolving AI-Powered Detection

With FortiSandbox 5.0, the Advanced AI Engine is natively integrated into the platform, combining real-time performance with purpose-built machine learning. Trained daily on thousands of newly collected malware samples across various file types, the engine adapts continuously by analyzing undetected samples and refining detection models accordingly. Each model undergoes two weeks of rigorous validation to ensure accuracy and reliability. This process enables FortiSandbox to detect, analyze, and protect against both known and unknown threats—faster and without added latency—helping organizations stay ahead of emerging attacks without the need for additional security controls or resources.

Real-Time Phishing Detection and Prevention

The FortiSandbox provides protection against zero-day phishing. The URLs extracted from emails and embedded from documents are processed in the FortiGuard cloud. The web pages are downloaded in real-time and are analyzed using patented technologies to determine any phishing signs.

Intelligent Threat Investigation with MITRE-Aligned Insights

FortiSandbox provides a comprehensive Job Detail Report for threat analysis and intelligence for Virtual Security Analyst. The report maps discovered malware techniques to MITRE ATT&CK framework with built-in powerful investigative tools that allow Security Operations (SecOps) teams to download captured packets, original file, tracer log, and malware screenshot. STIX 2.0 compliant IOCs provide rich threat intelligence and actionable insight after files are examined.

Flexible and Scalable Universal VM Deployment

Universal VM is an all-in-one license for the flexibility to choose any local, cloud, or custom virtual machine (VM) type and operating system. It detaches VM licenses from the OS licenses to reduce licensing complexity.

Resilient High-Availability Architecture for Continuous Protection

The FortiSandbox provides native clustering support of up to 99 worker nodes that expands throughput capacity providing uninterrupted critical operations.
