A sandbox is a security mechanism used to separate running programs and mitigate system failures. It provides a tightly controlled set of resources for guest programs to run in, such as storage and memory scratch space, while disallowing or heavily restricting network access, the ability to inspect the host system, or read from input devices. Sandboxing is often used to test unverified programs that may contain malicious code without allowing it to harm the host device.
