App Sandboxing

Definitions

1. A security model that isolates an application so it has limited access to system resources, data, and other apps outside defined boundaries. Sandboxing reduces blast radius when an app is malicious or compromised.

   In plain English: Keeping an app isolated so it cannot freely access the rest of the system.

   Example: "App sandboxing stopped the compromised viewer app from reading another app's stored credentials."
