Sandstorm settings

Use these settings to specify a data center and to exclude files from Sandstorm analysis.

Sandstorm data center location

Files to be analyzed are transmitted to a Sandstorm data center in the cloud over a secure SSL connection. By default, the firewall selects the closest data center. However, you can override this behavior by selecting a data center.

CAUTION Changing the data center may cause the loss of analysis in progress.

Exclude file types

Exclude the selected types of email attachments and web downloads from Sandstorm analysis. (The file type is determined by file extension and MIME header.)

Note Archives that include files of the selected types will also be excluded, regardless of what other types of files they contain.

Note Although you can exclude any file type, many types that are considered safe (for example, images) are never sent for analysis. Only risky file types that Sandstorm can detonate and analyze will be sent.
