What's new in FortiOS 5.6

The following section describes new Sandbox Integration features added to FortiOS 5.6.1.

FortiOS 5.6.1

These features first appeared in FortiOS 5.6.1.

New file extension lists for determining which file types to send to FortiSandbox (379326)

This feature introduces two new file extension lists:

  • File extensions to submit to FortiSandbox even though the AV engine says they are unsupported.
  • File extensions to exclude from submitting to FortiSandbox even though the AV engine says they are supported.

These lists are configured on the FortiSandbox, not the FortiGate, and are dynamically loaded on the FortiGate via quarantine.

note icon These lists are only file extensions and not file types detected by the AV engine using magic bytes. Pattern matching is done on the extension of the filename only.
Syntax

diag sys scanunit reload-fsa-ext
