Cloud Location

Files to be analyzed by Sandstorm are transmitted using a secure SSL connection to a data center in the cloud. Data centers are located in the United States and Europe. By default, Sandstorm selects the closer data center according to the location of the device. You can override the default behavior by selecting a data center.

Note: Changing data centers may affect any analysis that is currently in progress.

Exclude File Types

A file type is a classification that is determined by file extension and MIME header. Click Add New

Item and select file types that you do not want to send to Sandstorm for analysis. Exclusions apply to web and email traffic.

Note: Any archive that includes a file of the selected type will also be excluded, regardless of what other types of files that archive may contain.

Note: Although you can add an exclusion for any type of file, many file types that are considered safe (for example, images) will never be sent to Sandstorm. Only risky file types that Sandstorm can detonate and analyze will be sent.
