It is our fifth major release filled with 50 plus new and enhanced features. The major features are an advanced AI engine with purpose-built ML for faster vertex and improved detection, three times more universal VMs for ultra scalability, and SOC assist to enable SOC teams to perform threat enrichment investigation. Let's explore FortiSandbox 5.0. FortiSandbox features two enhanced scan engines, static and dynamic. The advanced AI is our first major feature, and that is part of the static analysis that drives 10 times faster vertex and three times improved detection accuracy. So what is advanced AI? It is a new AI engine and model that uses several machine learning techniques developed using unsupervised learning and artificial neural networks designed to enhance vertex speeds and detection accuracy for all types of file-based threat. Our second major feature that we are introducing is the universal VM for local cloud or custom virtual machine types and operating systems. It is an all-in-one license that detaches VM licenses from the OS licenses to reduce licensing complexity, add more capacity, whether local or cloud, and allows organizations to scale three times and deploy VMs per their needs. Our third major feature is SOC assist that helps SOC teams to use FortiSandbox 5.0 as a virtual analyst for threat research and analysis. It features a job detail report for added contextual intelligence, indicators of compromise to further enrich the threat research, a single pane of glass view of incidents for review and action. Thanks for watching. I hope that the advanced AI, universal VM, and SOC assist would keep you further ahead of evolving threats and empower your SOC team. If you would like to learn more, please watch our What's New video for FortiSandbox 5.0. See you in the next one.

TL;DR

  • FortiSandbox 5.0 introduces an advanced AI engine using unsupervised learning and neural networks that achieves 10x faster verdicts and 3x better detection accuracy for file-based threats.
  • New universal VM licensing decouples VM and OS licenses, reducing complexity and enabling 3x scaling capacity across local and cloud environments.
  • SOC Assist transforms FortiSandbox into a virtual analyst with detailed job reports, IOC enrichment, and unified incident management for threat research workflows.

Summary

FortiSandbox 5.0 represents Fortinet's fifth major release of their sandbox solution, introducing over 50 new and enhanced features focused on AI-driven threat detection and SOC enablement. The release centers on three core capabilities: an advanced AI engine leveraging purpose-built machine learning for static analysis that delivers 10x faster verdicts and 3x improved detection accuracy across all file-based threats; universal VM licensing that decouples virtual machine licenses from operating system licenses, enabling organizations to scale capacity three times more efficiently across local and cloud deployments; and SOC Assist functionality that transforms FortiSandbox into a virtual analyst for threat research. The SOC Assist feature provides detailed job reports with contextual intelligence, indicators of compromise for threat enrichment, and a unified incident view for streamlined review and action. These enhancements position FortiSandbox 5.0 as both a detection tool and an investigation platform for security operations teams facing AI-powered threats and zero-day malware.

FAQ

What machine learning techniques does FortiSandbox 5.0 use for threat detection?

FortiSandbox 5.0 employs a new AI engine using unsupervised learning and artificial neural networks as part of its static analysis capabilities. This purpose-built ML approach is designed to enhance both verdict speeds and detection accuracy for all types of file-based threats, including zero-days and AI-generated malware.

How does the universal VM licensing work in FortiSandbox 5.0?

The universal VM feature uses an all-in-one license that separates VM licenses from operating system licenses. This reduces licensing complexity, adds capacity flexibility for both local and cloud deployments, and allows organizations to scale up to three times more VMs based on their specific needs.
