A sandbox is used to safely execute and analyze harmful code without risking the integrity of the overall system. This isolation allows security professionals to observe behaviors and any malicious activity that may occur, making it a vital tool for testing new software or suspicious files. Running harmful software directly on a production environment can lead to breaches or data loss, emphasizing the importance of using a sandbox for such evaluations.
