MD Core Sandbox Engine Features

MetaDefender Sandbox technology is available as part of an integration with MD Core. The integration is available with two different engine types: embedded and remote sandbox engine (with full reporting). The embedded engine is deployed with MD Core, similar to other engines (CDR/DLP). The remote engine requires a side-by-side installation of the full standalone sandbox platform.
