What is the primary function of the SandBlast Agent?

The primary function of the SandBlast Agent is to prevent malware that may have entered a user’s system from spreading within the network. This capability is crucial for maintaining the security and integrity of the entire network environment. The SandBlast Agent operates by analyzing files and behaviors in real time, allowing it to detect and respond to malicious activities proactively.

By isolating the threats and enforcing containment strategies, the SandBlast Agent helps mitigate the risk of malware infections proliferating to other devices or compromising sensitive data across the network, thereby protecting organizational assets. This function is essential in a comprehensive security strategy, especially given the increasing sophistication of cyber threats.

In contrast, options related to OS-level sandboxing, ensuring service functionality, and clearing malicious email attachments address different aspects of network security but do not directly focus on the containment of malware post-infection, which is the core role of the SandBlast Agent.
