Sandbox is a technology designed to control various applications to improve security.It is a physical, virtual, or cloud-based device. This technology aims to provide automated analysis of files for malicious code, zero-day threats, and spyware.
Sandbox technology has become very popular in recent years as the only mechanism for detecting and counteracting modern hacker attacks, such as the sensational WannaCry, Petya.A, Bad Rabbit, and others that are not detected by standard antivirus tools.
The Sandbox system can work in conjunction with the following technologies:
• Firewall;• Mail gateways;• User access gateways to the Internet;• Security agents installed on endpoint workstations;• Network traffic monitoring and management devices.
All of these IT infrastructure components are aimed at ensuring information security. They can be said to catch the files being transferred and send them to the Sandbox.
What does Sandbox do?
A file received, for example, in an email over the Internet, is transferred to the Sandbox. Using the technology, Sandbox launches various configurations of virtual systems that correspond to typical workstations. Each virtual system runs the shared file, and its behavior is analyzed.
What is analyzed in the Sandbox?
The Sandbox analyses the following aspects:
● Internet access;● Changes made to the registry system;● Attempts to modify or modify system files;● Manipulations with memory;● Attempts to run any code.
Based on the analysis of this data, a verdict is made on whether the file is malicious or not. The judgment is then passed on to the system that sent the file for analysis.How does this whole chain of actions work within the infrastructure?
Let's say an object, which can be a file, a link, or other data, is sent to the firewall. The sandbox renders a verdict that the file is malicious. In this case, the firewall can block the traffic that receives the object.
The malicious email will be blocked before it is received by the recipient if the data is transferred to the Sandbox via an email gateway.
It is also possible that an agent from a workstation tranSandbox the file to the Sandbox. If the file is found to be malicious, it will also be blocked and cannot be run by the user.
Let's take a closer look at how the Sandbox uses a specific example.
The attacker sends an email to a corporate email user with a link to a website where the malicious code is to be downloaded. The mail server receives the email and then sent to the Sandbox for analysis. The Sandbox opens this email in several virtual systems, one corresponding to the user's workstation.
The analysis will be performed, and it will be found that the object under scrutiny is malicious. Its actions in the virtual environment will be recorded and analyzed, and a report on the object's behavior under analysis will be returned to the mail server.
Based on the report on the malicious content of the email, the message will be blocked, and a notification will be sent to the security administrator about the attempted attack. And the attack itself will be blocked by the Sandbox. The hacker attack will never start.
The hacker's website can check whether the email was opened on the workstation from which the attack was planned to develop. The image of the workstation in the Sandbox corresponds precisely to the hacker's goal, and he will receive a report that he has achieved his goal, while the malicious code will be activated within the Sandbox.
It is clear that the hacker's goal is to deceive the Sandbox, but this is extremely difficult and, in most cases, simply unrealistic.
Global information security vendors have been implementing Sandbox technology in their solutions for a long time.
Among the players in the information security market, we would like to highlight the following leaders:
FireEye is the world's first creator of a commercial Sandbox. Since 2007, the company has been actively developing this technology, and many information security experts recognize it as the most advanced. According to hackers, they have never been able to fool this sandbox.
Chek Point is a leader in network security solutions. Its SandBlast technology effectively protects against targeted attacks and zero-day threats.
Most of our cybersecurity solutions succeed due to the use of Sandbox technology.
Sandbox has become an indispensable component for building a modern information security system.
If you want to protect your business from cyber threats, use Sandbox technology in your company's IT infrastructure.
IT Specialist provides a unique opportunity for our clients to evaluate the effectiveness of Sandbox technology as part of a pilot project. Sandbox technology is implemented in the client's infrastructure to demonstrate its benefits and efficiency.
After the pilot project, we will create a full-fledged Sandbox for your company and support its operation.
