CHAPTER 41
Sandboxing
This chapter introduces and shows you how to configure sandboxing.
41.1 Sandboxing Overview
The Zyxel Device sandboxing is a security mechanism, which provides a safe environment to separate
running programs from your network and host devices. Unknown or untrusted programs/codes are
executed within an isolated virtual machine (VM) to monitor and analyze the zero-day malware and
advanced persistent threats (APTs) that may evade the Zyxel Device protection, such as anti-malware.
When a file with malicious or suspicious codes is detected, the Zyxel Device can take specific actions on
the threats.
41.2 Sandbox Commands
The following table describes general sandbox commands. You must use the configure terminal
command to enter the configuration mode before you can use these commands.
