Compare Kaspersky Sandbox vs. Zscaler Cloud Sandbox

Today’s businesses need to combat the growing number and complexity of modern threats that bypass existing antivirus and EPP-class solutions, such as unknown malware, new viruses and ransomware, zero-day exploits and others. At the same time, there is a global shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals, which can make it tough and expensive to hire them. Companies are looking for ways to automate the detection and response to advanced threats as much as possible. Kaspersky Sandbox harnesses our best expert practices in combating complex threats and APT-level attacks, providing advanced threat protection without the need for information security analysts.

Today’s appliance-based sandboxing solutions are expensive and, therefore, typically installed only in the data center. When users leave the network, they become exposed to new threats because sandbox protection can’t follow them. Traditional sandboxes usually operate out of line, allowing traffic through while inspecting suspicious files in TAP mode. If a threat is detected in the sandbox, it sends alerts, but they can arrive too late. Traditional sandboxes also lack the ability to fully inspect SSL traffic due to hardware limitations—and many malware authors are exploiting those limitations to distribute their malicious payloads. In order to provide sandbox protection, organizations have bolted sandboxing solutions onto their existing security stacks. It helps, but achieving a fully integrated threat platform across multiple products is nearly impossible.
