Security and Sandbox

It’s time to go beyond using sandboxing as a standalone capability in order to get the most out of it. You need a more robust malware analysis tool that fits seamlessly into your infrastructure and can continuously detect even the most advanced threats that are environmentally aware and can evade detection.

There are three typical ways that organizations purchase and deploy sandbox technology.

1. A stand-alone solution designed to feed itself samples for analysis without dependency on other security products. This has the most flexibility in deployment but adds significant hardware costs and complexity to management and analysis, especially for distributed enterprises.
2. A distributed feeding sensor approach, such as firewalls, IPS, or UTMs with built-in sandboxing capabilities. These solutions are usually cost effective and easy to deploy but are less effective in detecting a broad range of suspicious files including web files. They can also introduce bandwidth limitations that can hamper network performance and privacy concerns when a cloud-based solution is the only option.
3. Built into secure content gateways, such as web or email gateways. This approach is also cost effective but focuses on web and email channels only and also introduces performance limitations and privacy concerns.
