ITPEC FE Morning April 2023 — Question 43 of 80

Sandbox — an isolated environment for running potentially malicious programs safely.

A sandbox lets users execute suspicious software while observing its behavior, without allowing it to affect the rest of the system.

Why not others:
- (a) Firewall — filters network traffic by rules; does not execute or analyze programs

- (b) Honeypot — a decoy system designed to attract attackers for study; not meant for user-initiated malware analysis

- (c) IPS — monitors and blocks malicious network activity in real time; does not provide an execution environment

Key rule: Sandbox = safe isolation for observation. Honeypot = trap for attackers.
