What Is Browser Sandboxing?

With a rapidly changing business landscape, security is one of the biggest challenges for developers and testers in their modern web development cycle. The complexity of building and deploying modern web apps leads to more security vulnerabilities. As per a Cost of Data Breach report by IBM and Ponemon Institute, in 2021, data breach costs rose from USD 3.86 million (average cost in 2019) to USD 4.24 million, which is the highest average cost of this report in seventeen years.

Therefore, cybersecurity is becoming increasingly important in the software development lifecycle to ensure user data security and privacy. Wouldn’t it be great if you could develop and test websites and web apps without worrying about security vulnerabilities? Sandboxing is one technique that can help you achieve this. Sandboxing is an approach for securely isolating an application, a web browser, and a piece of code. It prevents malicious or faulty apps from attacking or spying on your web resources and local system.
