The primary use for FortiSandbox is to provide a good environment, a test environment for us to analyze any new threat in the market. Fortinet Cloud uses its technology to analyze those threats for us and we use the analysis engine.
Our company is a service provider of Fortinet products, providing solutions based on the company's products. This can be anything from a UTM (Urchin Tracking Module) to a cloud solution depending on the requirements of the customer. It's not one specific model of the product that we have, rather we offer products based on the solutions required by the customer. We are resellers.
There are easily more than 1,000 or 2,000 people that would be using this product through our company because we get organizations where there are maybe 500 to 600 users and others with around 1,000. So I would have to say more than 2,000.
I have experience installing solutions with the sandbox, along with its functionality that is multifunctional. When some files are detected with viruses, they are placed in quarantine.

I provide this solution in the FortiGate firewall as a cloud license. I'm in presales and I qualify the solution, so I don't install it or deploy it. I worked with Sandbox for one project two years ago, especially with FortiGate 200E. I worked with the customer and prepared the solution according to their needs, and we decided on the architecture and design to deploy this solution.
We put the firewall in the front end design and we configured it so that every file will be downloaded through the HTTP, or HTTPS, and the file will be scanned and analyzed with the antivirus of FortiClient. This is checked with the signature of this antivirus. If it's not okay, we will configure it to be scanned and analyzed with Sandbox.
There, we will configure, for example, a virtual machine for in the cloud that contains Windows Server or Windows Desktop, the version that the customer already has. We deploy some services like Active Directory, or the service that the customer uses. We try to send this file to the virtual cloud. Then we check it. If the file attains a certain score, we will block it. If not, we can make an event quarantine. We configure our event in the firewall or in the switch that connects in this firewall, and we will put it in quarantine until that administrator checks this file and where or not it contains malware or not.
In general, we purchase the license and we configure it in the front end firewall, not in the internal or data center firewall. This is especially for downloading the files that we can receive.
For the firewall, we were using the version FortiOS 7.0. The first version that we deployed was the 6.5 version. That includes this cloud license.
The firewall is on-premise, but the license for FortiSandbox is on the cloud.
There are 10 people using this solution in my company.

We mainly use it for incoming mail from all our domains because we have several of them. We are servicing many companies as the holding company. Every mail is passed to the Sandbox virtual machine. It is a VM. Occasionally, a link or a standalone file that we want to check is also passed to the Sandbox virtual machine.

We are using Fortinet FortiSandbox to inspect and scan all our files. All the files inside our organization that is transferred through the company. The solution scans the files inside the PSVM because it has many VMs inside the FortiScan. It's working on zero-day attacks and not based on the signature of the threat. It's based on behavior analysis.

We implemented FortiSandbox in three main steps: planning the infrastructure and topology, setting up dedicated Internet access for the sandbox, and configuring manual uploading and email forwarding. For email communication, we used either FortiMail or BCC/force mirroring solutions. FortiSandbox has successfully identified and blocked email attachments containing threats.

FortiSandbox was a solution that we mainly sold for manual protection, however, in order to have a more compact environment, like you see the security fabric that has Fortinet, in many of our clients, we performed integration within solutions. Our clients are mainly ones that have had Fortinet solutions previously or want to test Fortinet solutions. We also encourage them to use integration with Security Fabric.
Clients mainly use it for documents, or, for example, programs or execute tools that are injected in the network through the perimeter or through the DNC and also for internal analysis. When any of the users reconnect to the network after some time it will perform a check through FortiClient. They also have interaction with FortiSandbox - everything new is put in quarantine during the user's use. These files or execute tools are analyzed in the FortiSandbox.It can also analyze for scripts between documents or inside documents - mainly office documents like Excel, PowerPoint, or PDF.

I work at a college campus with the intention of understanding targeted attacks. If a file is hit or some pre files set as .exe, .pif, .zip, or .pdf among others and forwards to virtual machines and executes an action of the file changing a registry, it creates some backdoor or memory overflow guaranteeing access the machine.
