[QUOTE="Windows_Security, post: 796959, member: 50782"] Sandbox: a defense mechanism to contain one operating environment from another (to limit impact of breeches or malfunctioning in environment A on environment B through Z or the rest of the system environment). In this broader context [USER=66256]@Local Host[/USER] answer makes no sense. Sandbox in narrow context refers to an application (e.g. sandboxie) or a mechanism used in an application (Chrome sandbox) or OS (e.g. AppContainer of Windows). In this context [USER=66256]@Local Host[/USER] answer makes some sense. Honeypot: an intelligence systems to lurk intruders into a network or system (with unprotected entries or weak protections or unpatched vulnerabilities) which has monitoring and alarm (to gather info on the attack vectors used, e.g. new malware techniques, or simply a trip wire alarm the to know that you are being attacked). The honeypots of antivirus companies often contain sandboxes as part of the monitoring system. P.S. as a marketing & sales guy I am impressed that you picked up this conversation, (y) [USER=75406]@RidgebackSecure[/USER] it is a remarkable proof of competence expanding security intelligence into marketing intelligence. Hope reaction time of your real time service is a tad faster though (original post is from 20 September 2018 ) ;) [/QUOTE]
