What is the role of sandboxing in detecting sophisticated malware in networks?

Sandboxing technology detects and neutralizes advanced malware within enterprise networks by isolating potentially malicious files or programs in a controlled environment known as a “sandbox.” When a suspicious file is identified, it is executed within the sandbox to observe its behavior and interactions with the system. Through this process, sandboxing technology can analyze the file’s actions, network traffic, system changes, and other behavior patterns to determine if it is indeed malware. If the file is confirmed as malicious, the sandbox can prevent it from causing harm to the network by quarantining or deleting it.
