A FortiSandbox unit can be used for automated sample tracking, or sandboxing, for files from a FortiGate unit. This allows suspicious files to be sent to be inspected without risking network security. If the file exhibits risky behavior, or is found to contain a virus, a new virus signature is created and added to the FortiGuard antivirus signature database.

Cloud Sandbox can also be used for sandboxing if you have an active FortiCloud subscription. For more information, see “FortiCloud”.
