Sandbox↗ is an isolated, contained environment where untested code, suspicious files, or potentially malicious software can be run safely, without any risk of affecting the real system or network it's separated from.
Security teams use sandboxes to detonate suspicious email attachments or links and observe what they actually do before allowing them anywhere near production systems. If the file turns out to be malware↗, the sandbox can simply be discarded with no real harm done.
