How Bitdefender Sandbox Service Works

Bitdefender Sandbox Service detonates suspicious files in a controlled environment that mirrors real-world conditions, so files behave as they would in the wild. This makes it effective against targeted attacks and sophisticated malware built to detect and avoid lab conditions.

 

Before detonation, a cloud-based prefilter uses machine learning to flag files that are clean or already known, filtering them out and reducing the volume sent for full analysis. It continuously learns from large datasets, improving accuracy over time.

 

The infrastructure is cloud-based and scalable, processing thousands of files per minute. For OEM integrations, this means access to full sandbox detonation and behavioral analysis, without building or maintaining that infrastructure yourself.

Sandbox Service capabilities

Use cases

Sandbox Service for OEMs and product teams

Security vendors integrate the Sandbox Service via API to add dynamic malware analysis to their platforms. The API handles submission, detonation, and reporting, letting product teams embed sandbox-level detection without managing the underlying infrastructure. 

Sandbox Service for SOC teams and analysts

Security teams use the Sandbox Service to investigate unknown or suspicious files flagged during incident response or threat hunting. Detonation results include behavioral reports and downloadable IOCs in multiple formats (raw, OpenIOC, STIX). The files can be accessed and reviewed through the IntelliZone Portal.
