Security Fabric Integration

FortiSandbox natively integrates with FortiGate, FortiMail, FortiWeb, FortiADC, FortiProxy, FortiClient (ATP agent), Fabric-Ready Partner solutions, and via JSON API or ICAP with third party security vendors. The integration provides suspicious content submission, timely remediation, and reporting capabilities.

This integration extends to other FortiSandbox solutions allowing instantaneous sharing of real-time intelligence. This feature benefits large enterprises that deploy multiple FortiSandbox solutions in different geo-locations. This zero touch automated model is ideal for holistic protection across different borders and time zones.

Threat Mitigation

FortiSandbox uniquely integrates with various products through the Security Fabric platform that automates your breach protection strategy with an incredibly simple setup. Once malicious code is identified, FortiSandbox will return risk ratings and the local intelligence is shared in real time with Fortinet, Fabric-Ready Partners, and third-party security solutions to mitigate and immunize against new advanced threats. The local intelligence can optionally be shared with the FortiGuard Labs, to help protect organizations globally. The diagram following describes the automated mitigation process flow.

1. Submit file and URL for analysis from the FortiGate, FortiMail, client or file server.
2. Block suspicious file and URL inline on the device or quarantine on the client.
3. Share IoCs to the FortiGate devices (optional to FortiGuard) for intelligence sharing.

MITRE ATT&CK-based Reporting and Investigative Tools

FortiSandbox provides a detailed analysis report that maps discovered malware techniques to MITRE ATT&CK framework with built-in powerful investigative tools that allows Security Operations (SecOps) teams to download captured packets, original file, tracer log, malware screenshot. STIX 2.0 compliant IOCs provide rich threat intelligence and actionable insight after files are examined (see image below).

FortiSandbox also allows SecOps teams to optionally record a video or interact with the malware in a simulated environment.

NetShare Scan

The FortiSandbox facilitates scanning of file repositories via CIFs, NFS, AWS S3 Buckets, and Azure Blob. This feature allows system admin and web hosting to sanitize any file sharing. It is the ideal option for enhancing an existing multi-vendor threat protection approach.

HA-Cluster

The FortiSandbox natively supports clustering to expand the throughput capacity of up to 99 worker nodes. The HA feature provides redundancy for uninterrupted critical operation.

Platform as a Service (PaaS)

Hosted FortiSandbox services offer the same Fortinet Security Fabric integration as FortiSandbox appliances. FortiSandbox (PaaS) can easily scale to facilitate current and future business needs without big upfront investments, offering lower operational costs. Fortinet maintains, updates, and operates the platform on your behalf.

Real Time Anti-Phishing

The FortiSandbox v4.4 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 analyze using patented technologies to determine any phishing signs.
