Explanation

Sandboxing is a security technique that isolates potentially dangerous content-such as email attachments or unknown executable files-in a restricted, controlled environment (the 'sandbox') where it can be safely executed and analyzed without risk to the host system or network. If the content is found to be malicious, it is contained within the sandbox. An allowlist (approve listing) specifies trusted applications or senders that are permitted. A screened subnet (DMZ) is a network segment that separates public-facing servers from the internal network. Cross-platform virtualization refers to running operating systems or apps across different hardware platforms, not to malware isolation of attachments.
