Sandbox: A controlled environment used for testing or running potentially dangerous or suspicious code. It is used in cybersecurity to prevent malicious software from damaging systems or networks. Examples include a web browser’s sandbox for running untrusted code, a malware analysis sandbox for studying malware behavior, and a network sandbox for testing new security protocols.
