It's help us to unveil security violations using games and torrents, although it should include custom filters on the roadmap.

Advanced sandboxing has protected users from zero-day threats and has simplified secure file scanning
The smooth integrations between Fortinet FortiSandbox and other Fortinet solutions such as FortiWeb and FortiFirewall and with other Fortinet environments are what I really appreciate. We have minimum false positives during threat detection. Our clients have not given negative feedback from detection. As you know, it still needs some tuning after implementation. However, we never receive negative feedback for many false positives during implementation.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"When it's well tuned, there is no more administrative overload when managing the system, and as a result, you see an ROI in six months."
"It helped me to unveil the truth, and you must constantly search for new technologies, educate yourself, and use the right solutions to protect your environment."
"It has the best support, quick and professional."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiSandbox are the analysis options, artificial intelligence, and the many interfaces it provides."
"The technical support is very good."
"The adapter is beneficial as it allows integration with various devices, not just Fortinet."
"The analysis engine is a very valuable feature."
"Integration is one of the solution's most valuable aspects. You can integrate even third-party solutions so that they can send the information or files they quarantine through the FortiSandbox"
"The solution has the highest stability...The solution's setup is not complex as they are already included in Fortinet."
"he solution's GUI is good."
"The solution is easy to manage."
 

Cons

"There's no prevention or blocking mechanism, and static IPs for a HoneyPot that even if known, might be ignored by malware."
"I tested the best products from LastLine and FireEye, but there was always something that turned me off."
"Implement prevention features."
"For the MSSPs, it would be great if the product could display all the threat chains on a dashboard since it is an area where the tool is currently lacking."
"Product could include a user interface and be made simpler for customers to configure."
"The area I would like this solution to be improved in is the integrations for Sandbox with AI and big data ML mechanisms. I think this would be a practical improvement."
"I don't know if it is viable to do an improvement like this. When there are passwords in the password-protected files, it can't scan them or do things like this. I don't know if an algorithm or something else could make it better. Nowadays, many legitimate office documents have passwords."
"The use cases in Fortinet FortiSandbox are not good. It is difficult to upload a custom VM for Fortinet FortiSandbox."
"I would like to have machine learning added to the solution in a future release."
"For additional features, maybe a form of execution pain files in a non-virtual environment because it has threats that identify when it is being run in a virtual machine."
"There could be more templates and a higher number of simulated VMs to configure more use cases. Sometimes we need to configure many use cases in many different environments, and if the number of VMs that we configure is limited, we have to remove some and reconfigure the environment if we need another environment."
