Sandbox Analyzer technology updates

Bitdefender regularly provides technology updates for Sandbox Analyzer On-premises. Once installed, Security Appliance Sandbox downloads and installs these updates automatically.

Version 0.2.2203

Release date: 2022.01.25

New features and improvements

  • Added support for WMware ESXi 7.0 hosts.

    Important

    Limitations on ESXi 7.0:

    • Slower detonation time for concurrent submissions when increasing the recommended time parameters for a single submission. We recommend not configuring higher values for individual submissions than the default ones in GravityZone Control Center.

    • Slower overall performance depending on the timing of separate submissions. On a constant flow, with no idle processing time, the average throughput (samples detonated per hour) is reduced by around 30%.

Resolved issues

  • In a corner-case scenario, the Sandbox Analyzer On-premises license key did not work with the Sandbox technology updates.

  • A technology issue caused larger than expected log files.

  • Various issues occurring at Sandbox Analyzer installation or update.

Version 0.2.1709

Release date: 2021.02.16

New features and improvements

  • Added more signatures for file type identification of submitted samples.

  • Improved processing of digital certificates for samples and other files generated during detonation.

  • Improved processing of the network traffic generated during detonation. The tools used for this process were updated to a newer version.

Resolved issues

  • Golden images failed to install when the default language of the guest operating system was other than English.

  • During the update process, some components are no longer deleted before ensuring the new version is downloaded successfully.

  • Fixed reliability issues when establishing the SSH connection to the ESXi host during guest operations.

  • Changing the update token now correctly propagates to the technology layer.

  • Other various fixes.
