What is FortiSandbox?

Unlike the earlier, simpler viruses that were few in number, traditional antivirus solutions relied on a database of signatures to effectively protect systems. However, the current malware landscape has drastically changed, employing sophisticated techniques that often exploit existing vulnerabilities. When these weaknesses in trusted applications are taken advantage of, they can result in unpredictable behavior, which attackers exploit to compromise computer security. This tactic of exploiting an undisclosed software vulnerability is known as a zero-day or 0-day attack, and before the implementation of sandboxing, there were limited effective preventive measures available. A malware sandbox acts as a safeguard by confining an application’s functions, such as those involved in processing a Word document, to a controlled environment. This isolation enables the sandbox to observe the dynamic behaviors and interactions of applications in a simulated user environment, helping to unveil any potential malicious activities. This innovative technology plays a crucial role in combating advanced threats and has become a vital component of a more comprehensive cybersecurity strategy. As technology continues to evolve, the importance of such protective measures in thwarting increasingly sophisticated attacks cannot be overstated.
