Today, the biggest problem with network security is that it's constantly spreading new malware viruses.
Our devices are currently equipped with IDP and Anti-Virus to best protect networks. However, these two features are not effective against emerging malware viruses.
The sandbox is a virtualized, isolated, and secure network environment that runs unknown files to analyze their behaviour.
The underlying principle is based on a common, hosted base via a cloud to provide constantly updated protection in real-time.
Sandboxing works as follows:
When a file goes through the virus program, it first checks the anti-malware database.
If the file is unknown, a copy of the file is forwarded to the sandbox.
This will test the file and determine if it is untrusted, suspicious or dangerous.
The sandbox hosted in the cloud will then be updated with this new item.
The anti-malware database is regularly synchronized with the sandbox to keep it up to date and block new malware viruses in real-time.
The configuration of the sandbox is simple.
To do this, you have to activate it under
Configuration > Security Service > Sandboxing
Then you can see the number of detected files:
Monitor > Security Statistics > Sandboxing
Make sure that your anti-malware program is activated.
The sandbox is optimally adapted to the current conditions to best protect against current attacks.
