Sandbox-based cybersecurity solutions are a protected and isolated environment on a network that simulates a company’s production network for security testing and analysis purposes. Sandboxes can typically analyze a threat object in a couple of minutes for a network running at couple of gigabits per second (Gbps) of network throughput. As more businesses move their critical data and cybersecurity defenses to the cloud and the volume of network traffic increases, enterprises are shifting how they deploy sandboxes to reduce costs and improve the speed of advanced threat detection.
