In the world of cybersecurity, a sandbox environment is an isolated virtual machine in which potentially unsafe software code can execute without affecting network resources or local applications. Outside of cybersecurity, developers also use sandbox testing environments to run code before widespread deployment.
Why sandbox is required?
