Zero-day Malware Protection for Your Cloud and Hybrid Workloads
Overview
FortiSandbox for AWS enables organizations to defend against Zero-day threats natively in the cloud, working alongside network, application, email, endpoint security, and other 3rd party security solutions, or as an extension to their on-premises security architectures to leverage cloud elasticity and scale.
The number of Windows VMs used for behavior analysis for BYOL plan is based on the license. While, for PAYG plan, that is based on the CPU cores of the instance. 1 Core - maximum of 4 Windows VMs for behavior analysis 2 Cores - maximum of 8 Windows VMs for behavior analysis 4 Cores - maximum of 16 Windows VMs for behavior analysis 8 Cores - maximum of 32 Windows VMs for behavior analysis 16 Cores - maximum of 64 Windows VMs for behavior analysis Both BYOL and PAYG plan can use the Fortinet-hosted Windows Cloud VMs . Alternatively, the Custom VMs can be deployed within the cloud but will incur additional charges as per infrastructure instance price.
Highlights

After a smooth deployment, it has consistently safeguarded our network from advanced threats

What do you like best about the product?
I really like the endpoint integration. FortiClient silently sends unknown files to FortiSandbox in the background, and we don’t have to babysit it. Once we tuned the policies, it’s been running reliably without slowing down users, which is a big plus for productivity.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be resource-hungry. We had to allocate more hardware than initially expected to keep the performance smooth, especially with FortiClient endpoints constantly sending samples. Once scaled properly it’s fine, but the upfront sizing needs careful planning.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before deploying it, we were constantly dealing with suspicious attachments slipping through email and reaching endpoints. Now FortiClient forwards anything unknown to FortiSandbox, and verdicts come back quickly. It’s cut down on user-reported incidents and allowed us to keep our environment clean without adding more endpoint load.

What do you like best about the product?
The strongest part for me is how well it works with FortiClient on our endpoints. Whenever a suspicious file shows up, it’s automatically sent to FortiSandbox, and the verdict comes back quickly. If it’s malicious, FortiClient immediately blocks it and updates its signatures, it’s closed several gaps we used to worry about.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main drawback I’ve noticed is the occasional delay during peak load. When multiple suspicious files come in at once, analysis can take a bit longer, which slightly slows down our incident triage. It’s not frequent, but it’s something we’ve had to plan around.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It’s helped us close the gap against zero-day and evasive malware that our traditional signature-based tools were missing. By sending suspicious files from FortiClient to FortiSandbox for behavioral analysis, we’re catching threats before they ever execute. This has greatly reduced infection incidents and strengthened our security posture.
