A sandbox is a type of software testing environment that enables the isolated execution of untested code or programs.

Key Points

• Sandboxing is a security measure that allows you to run untrusted code in a controlled environment.
• By isolating untrusted code, sandboxing can help prevent malicious code from damaging your system or accessing sensitive data.
• Sandboxing can also be used to test new code or applications in a safe environment before deploying them on your production system.
• There are various types of sandboxes, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Choose the type of sandbox that best meets your needs.
