Virtual Analyzer is a cloud sandbox designed for analyzing suspicious files. Sandbox images allow observation of file behavior in an environment that simulates endpoints on your network without any risk of compromising the network.
Hosted Email Security sends suspicious files to Virtual Analyzer when a file exhibits suspicious characteristics and signature-based scanning technologies cannot find a known threat. Virtual Analyzer performs static analysis and behavior simulation in various runtime environments to identify potentially malicious characteristics. During analysis, Virtual Analyzer rates the characteristics in context and then assigns a risk level to the sample based on the accumulated ratings.
The Virtual Analyzer Analysis Details chart on the Threat tab of Dashboard displays the number and level of threats detected by Virtual Analyzer based on the selected mail traffic direction.
The data on this tab is displayed for incoming mail traffic only.
