A sandbox is therefore a security mechanism used to separate running processes. But this "sandbox" can also be an isolated test environment allowing programs to run and files to be opened without affecting other applications or the system itself in any way. This guarantees its safety.

This is, for example, development software that may not behave completely correctly, but at the same time malicious code coming from untrusted sources, typically from third-party developers, will not get out of this reserved space. But the sandbox is also used for malware detection, as it offers an additional layer of protection against security threats such as sneak attacks and exploits that use zero-day vulnerabilities.
