Exam CCSP topic 1 question 348 discussion

Application virtualization is isolating an application from the underlying operating system. PERIOD. The added bit about testing is like saying legs are for walking. no they are also for jumping and squatting and kicking and... badly formed question/answer.

Sandboxing is the process of isolating an application from the underlying operating system to test it in a controlled environment. This prevents the application from affecting the host system and limits potential security risks, such as malware execution or unintended system modifications. Why Not the Others? A. Abstracting → Involves separating functionality or resources but does not specifically isolate an application for testing. B. Application Virtualization → Similar but typically encapsulates an application to run on different OS environments rather than isolating it for security/testing. C. Hosting → Refers to running applications on servers or cloud environments, not isolating them for testing.

It is D - Sandboxing is a security practice in which you use an isolated environment, or a “sandbox,” for testing.

Application virtualization

Sandboxing refers to the practice of creating a controlled and isolated environment for an application to run independently of the underlying operating system. In a sandboxed environment, the application's access to system resources and interactions with other software components are restricted and closely monitored

D: Sandboxing

B. Application virtualization

The question and answer given are apt. Page 204 (CCSP for Dummies) tie all the parts together.

Sandboxing

I don’t agree with this. It gives the impression app virtualisation is only for testing. It isn’t
