The Internet poses many threats to both businesses and individuals. So-called sandboxes are used to safely execute suspicious code without risking harm to the host device or network. In cybersecurity, a sandbox is a dedicated and isolated system for safely running suspicious computer programs. Usually, these systems are specially built/configured to hide the fact of the existence of the "sandbox" and emulate real endpoints (with a set of programs and drivers).
Sandboxing for advanced malware detection provides another layer of protection against emerging security threats, including zero-day (previously unseen) malware and stealth attacks. And what happens in the sandbox, stays in the sandbox - avoiding system crashes and preventing the spread of software vulnerabilities.
This technology saves companies money and time and protects them from malware and fraud. It is also used for debugging, creating working directories, and improving development. Because it is readily available and flexible, it has quickly become a popular cybersecurity solution.
