ArmorPoint’s New Self-Service Threat Simulation Tool

Provider of managed cybersecurity solutions, ArmorPoint, has unveiled a new tool to help security teams validate suspicious files and take decisive action with speed.

Sandbox Detonation simulates threats within SIEM platform

Sandbox Detonation is a new threat simulation capability within the ArmorPoint SIEM platform. It allows ArmorPoint customers and partners to safely upload suspicious files or URLs directly into the platform for controlled detonation.

“When something unusual shows up in an environment, speed, and clarity matter,” said Jacob Johnson, CISO of ArmorPoint. “Sandbox Detonation gives teams immediate insight into what a file is actually doing, without waiting on external tools or manual investigation. It shortens the gap between detection and response.”

Detailed reports show teams risk of suspicious files

Sandbox Detonation also generates detailed reports on behavior, indicators of compromise, network activity, and any malicious actions observed during execution. 

This enables teams to quickly determine whether a file is safe, risky, or malicious.

The key benefits of Sandbox Detonation include:

• Faster verification of suspicious or unknown files.
• Clear verdicts delivered through detailed detonation reports.
• Behavioral analysis that strengthens investigations and reduces false positives.
• Actionable guidance for containment and remediation.
• Built-in access without deploying additional sandbox tools.

Additionally, Sandbox Detonation was designed as a self-service feature, reducing investigation friction and improving decision-making. 

The resulting verdicts and analyses can be used by teams to block malicious hashes at the firewall, remove dangerous files from endpoints, update email filtering rules, or escalate incidents to internal teams or the ArmorPoint security operations center (SOC).

Sandbox Detonation is immediately available within the ArmorPoint platform and included at no additional cost.

ArmorPoint establishes new partnerships

The new tool comes after a pair of late-2025 partnership announcements – teaming with Pioneer-360 and Cyware.

Pioneer-360, a SOC 2 Type II certified managed IT services provider, teamed with ArmorPoint in October 2025 to pair Pioneer-360’s technology enablement services with ArmorPoint’s Managed SOC solutions.

Further, this collaboration will provide Pioneer-360’s clients with ArmorPoint’s cybersecurity program management to protect and sustain growth.

Meanwhile, the partnership ArmorPoint has established with Cyware will expand customers’ threat detection capabilities.

The integration will enable Cyware to expand its suite of threat detection capabilities and enable ArmorPoint to automatically ingest, normalize, and correlate real-time threat intel from Cyware. This will enhance alerts, incidents, and vulnerabilities with context.
