FortiSandbox settings

In the FortiSandbox settings dialog it is possible to change the following settings concerning FortiSandbox detection engine:

Maximum file size limit

Specifies the maximum file size for which to perform the check by the engine.

Treat oversize as clean

If this is enabled and the check is skipped because the file is too big, the file is considered “clean” (like if the check was performed and found no problems). If this is disabled, then such file is considered “suspicious/dangerous” (like if the check was performed and found a problem) and the whole package will be quarantined.

Block following ratings

The result of a check by the sandbox engine can in case of new unknown threats be one of the following values:

• Low risk

• Medium risk

• High risk

This setting specifies, which of these results are treated as dangerous and will be blocked (quarantined). It is recommended to block medium and high risk results. Low risk is to be considered, as it can be more often a “false positive” result.

IP address or DNS hostname

IP address or hosname of the FortiSandbox.
