A cybersecurity analyst must examine several suspicious email attachments without endangering the analyst's laptop or the corporate network. Each session should start from a clean state so any malicious changes are discarded automatically after the test. Which of the following purposes of a virtual machine BEST meets these requirements?
A sandbox virtual machine is designed for isolated, disposable testing. It keeps potential malware contained and can be reverted or destroyed after each run, ensuring no impact on the host operating system. Test/development VMs focus on building software, and application or cross-platform virtualization solve compatibility issues rather than providing strong isolation.
