A company's IT security department is looking to test a newly developed application in an isolated environment to prevent potential bugs and security vulnerabilities from affecting the production environment. Which of the following BEST describes the use of virtual machines to meet this requirement?
Creating snapshots of the virtual machine before each test scenario
Establishing scheduled backups for the virtual machine during the testing phase
Using virtual machines to create a sandbox environment for testing
Implementing resource throttling to limit the application's CPU usage
Using a virtual machine as a sandbox allows the IT security department to test new applications in a controlled and isolated environment. This ensures that any potential issues do not impact the production environment, allowing for secure testing and development without risking system stability or data integrity.
