    About this task

    Before you can submit files or URLs to the CrowdStrike Falcon X Sandbox using the integration, you must configure at least one submission configuration. The submission configuration defines the Sandbox operating system, scan type, run time options, and other incident handling characteristics. You may want to create multiple configurations to use the different options that available in the CrowdStrike Falcon X Sandbox environment.

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to All > CrowdStrike Falcon X Sandbox > Configuration Settings.
    2. Click New.
    3. Complete the following fields to create a configuration for a Full Scan type.
      Field Description
      Name Unique name for the submission configuration. This name appears to analysts when they submit a file. It is important to ensure that the name is descriptive and easily distinguishable from the other configurations (example, Win 10 Full Scan). If the name is not unique, an error appears and duplicate configuration record names do not save.
      Scan type Scan type as Full. A Quick scan type provides a limited threat analysis.
      Operating system Analysis VM environment that the sandbox scans the file or URL in.
      Active Option that you select when manually submitting files or URLs.
      Default configuration for automated submission Option that is cleared by default. Selecting this option enables this configuration to be available for automating malware analysis submissions.
      Note:
      You can have only one active submission configuration as the default configuration for automated submissions.
      Display tags Option that is cleared by default. When you select this option, tags are displayed to provide the status of a file or URL submission. The analysis may take several minutes to process. The display tags are submission initiated, submission completed, or submission failed.
      Additional runtime options Option that is cleared by default. When you select this option, additional runtime parameters that Sandbox supports are available.
      Runtime action scripts Option that enables you to use an action script that simulates human behavior and interacts with the file or URL during the analysis.

      Network Settings Option that allows you to select the type of network settings used while submitting an URL or file to Sandbox.
    4. Click Submit.
      After you submit the configuration, it is saved on the Configuration Settings page as a record. The configuration must be Active to be used in sandbox submissions.

    What to do next

    After you configure sandbox submissions, the next step is to manually submit files or ULRs to Sandbox
