Why Is Sandboxing Important

The Attachment Defense Sandboxing allows us to push email messages to a safe environment where we then check the attachment for any type of payload.

Info: Types of Attachments

The Attachment Defense service only scans for certain types of attachments found on this KB: file types scanned by Attachment Defense.

If we deem an attachment as a threat in our sandboxing service, it will then stop the message in real time by quarantining the message as a virus. Customers with the sandboxing service enabled can stop threats in real time. 

Note: Threats Found

If a threat is found in the sandbox environment, the definitions for Attachment Defense get updated so future recipients of the same attachment will stop it
