Issue/Introduction

NOTE: This section is not applicable to Content Analysis VA and CAS S200 because these models do not support on-box sandboxing. 

• Each base image can have one or more IntelliVM profiles, each with its own customizations. 
• These customizations include commercial applications, custom applications, additional web browsers, and patches to components. 
• Customizing profiles allows you to run additional file types through the sandbox analysis process with each one running within its own native application. 
• Note that only one profile is allowed per base image when in trial mode.

Add a Profile:

1. Select Services > Sandboxing > On-box Sandboxing.
