Security Sandbox

A security sandbox is a protected environment within a computer system where software, especially untrusted or new programs, can run safely without affecting the rest of the system. Think of it like a secure testing area that isolates any potential problems, preventing viruses or malware from spreading or causing damage. This way, programs can be tested or used with limited access to sensitive data and system functions, reducing the risk of security breaches while allowing necessary operations to be performed securely.
