What kind of files does Zscaler's Cloud Sandbox primarily focus on?

Zscaler's Cloud Sandbox is primarily designed to analyze unknown files that have not yet been categorized. This focus allows organizations to mitigate potential threats that might come from files that they cannot easily identify as safe or risky. By analyzing unknown files, the Cloud Sandbox employs behavior-based detection mechanisms to determine if a file exhibits malicious behavior, thereby enhancing the security posture of an organization.

This approach is crucial in today’s cybersecurity landscape, where threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated and often masquerade as benign files. By scrutinizing files that are unfamiliar or unverified, Zscaler helps prevent an array of potential attacks, ensuring only safe files are allowed through while giving detailed insights into any malicious activities.

Other categories of files, such as only executables or files that are already known to be safe, do not align with the Cloud Sandbox's purpose of identifying threats from unrecognized sources. This proactive strategy is fundamental in defending against evolving malware and other cyber threats.
