How does sandboxing help with the analysis of malware?

TheCCST Cybersecurity Study Guideexplains that sandboxing is a security technique that executes suspicious programs in a controlled and isolated environment, preventing them from affecting production systems while enabling behavior analysis.

"Sandboxing isolates a suspected application in a secure, controlled environment where it can be executed and analyzed without risking damage to the host system or network."
