When to Use Sandboxes?

Software developers use sandboxes to test new programming code. Cybersecurity professionals use sandboxes to test potentially malicious software. Without sandboxing, software or applications could have potentially unlimited access to all the user data and system resources on a network.

What are sandboxes used for?

Sandboxes are used to safely execute suspicious code without risking harm to the host device or network. Using a sandbox for advanced malware detection provides another layer of protection against new security threats—zero-day (previously unseen) malware and stealthy attacks, in particular.

When should I use developer sandbox?

Use a Developer Pro sandbox to handle more development and quality assurance tasks and for integration testing or user training. A Partial Copy sandbox is intended to be used as a testing environment.
