Explanation

There may be an error in this answer key - the description in the question actually matches Remote Browser Isolation (A), not SWG (B).

Why A (Remote Browser Isolation) fits the question perfectly: RBI is specifically the technology that renders web pages in a remote, isolated sandbox environment (cloud or VM), so that malicious content never executes on the user's actual endpoint - only a safe visual stream reaches them. The question's phrasing ("websites rendered in a sandbox environment... before they reach the endpoint") is the textbook definition of RBI.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B (SWG): A Secure Web Gateway filters and inspects web traffic using URL filtering, malware scanning, and content policies, but it does not render websites in a sandbox. SWG is the broader category; RBI is the specific sandboxed-rendering technique.
• C (Network Sandbox): Analyzes suspicious files or executables in isolation, not live web page rendering.
• D (DNS Security): Blocks threats at the DNS resolution layer (before a connection is even made), not via sandbox rendering.

Memory tip: Think of RBI as a "virtual TV screen" - the dangerous website plays in a remote sandbox, and you only see the picture. Nothing malicious ever downloads to your machine.

Recommendation: Double-check the source of this question. If it's from a specific certification (CompTIA, CCNA, etc.), verify against the official study guide - it's possible the answer key has a typo, or the question wording was altered.
